20th Century Highlanders In U.S. 8th Army U.N. Honor Guard 1956

[patches]

1st Battalion Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders served in Korea after the Armistice, and had a detail assigned to the 8th Army Honor Guard in Seoul. It wasn't in Korea very long, from sometime in 1955 to sometime in 1956, probably the fall of 1956, here it is then sent to Aden in the Middle East.

 

In this summer 1956 photo we see other member states troops in the Honor Guard, to wit Ethiopians and Turkish, the Ethiopians and Turkish carry M1 Rifles that seem to have had their Muzzles Chromed. All of them may be  wearing the 8th Army patch with HONOR GUARD Tab on the other shoulder. The Cameron's under their Swatch of Tartan Formation Sign.
