    This was just published in the most recent edition of Legion Magazine and is also on their website.

    Interesting. Wonder why they omitted the North Shore Regiment shoulder titles? And, they used melton or worsted titles, not the printed ones.

    Ed, that is an interesting link. Thanks, now that I watched those revolving soldiers, I think I need a gravol or 4.  Very Happy 

    Ed, the reason they used Worsted titles and not the printed ones is very simple.... they never had you to square them away.

    Just received my copy of "Legion Magazine".  Kudos to Ed for stepping and providing the kit for the article and the web site.  A picture is worth a thousand words!
