    Hi I am trying to find out what the Royal Border regiment uniform was like during WW2.
    I have heard they maybe wore tartan trousers and a Glengarry cap. Surely this sounds more like a Scottish regiment. :)

    I wonder if there's a confusion with the King's Own Scottish Borderers. They wore a Glengarry and tartan. Interestingly their Regimental Museum is in Berwick-upon-Tweed and not in Scotland.

    There's masses of information on the web.
