Vintage Scottish 1940's Gordon Highlanders Levee Dress Officers Sporran Bag

Both the zenith and twilight of the full dress uniforms of the regiments of the British Army occurred at the turn of the twentieth century, shortly before the First World War. There may be differences of opinion as to which regiment/regiments had the most resplendent uniform, but few will disagree that those of the Lancer regiments, particularly including those of the British Army in India, and the Highland Regiments of the British Army, were certainly ranked in contention.

With the general mobilization for war occurring in August of 1914, the full dress uniforms for the majority of the regiments of the British Army were turned into depots and stores. These uniforms were never to be generally issued again. Full dress for officers was never officially abolished, with new Dress Regulations actually issued in 1934, full dress was never again taken up for general use. One of the finest, and most comprehensive references of the final full dress uniforms is "THEIR GLORY SHALL NOT BE BLOTTED OUT" The Last Full Dress Uniform of the British Army, LtCol Olaf MacLeod, Lutterworth Press, Cambridge, 1986, ISBN 0-7188-2673-6.

Being of Scottish ancestry, one of the near lifelong projects of my continuing interest in the history of the British Army has been the acquisition of the complete full dress uniform of an officer of the 92nd Gordon Highlanders of that era. It was a challenge started as a college student/NROTC Midshipman around 1954, and only culminated after my retirement in 2002, a span of almost fifty years. It's interesting how in your life it seems like some things are meant to be, and that was to be the case in this quest. During the period I had the good fortune to find various significant elements and accouterments, some major, others less so. I had acquired a reasonable reference library over time, but one research "tool" surpassed all others, and that was the Internet.
