BACKGROUND: The Glengarry’s origins may be traced to Alasdair MacDonell (1771-1828) of Glengarry, Scotland, and was adopted by the British Infantry in 1868, and the Canadian militia in the 1870s. It was worn on dress occasions, by traditionally Scottish Infantry Regiments, during both world wars. 

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: This black woven wool "wedge" cap has a khaki wool Touri (pom-pom) to its crown, black rayon edging along its base, with the original rayon ribbon complete. Its lack of a diced band along its sides is typical of a regiment affiliated to the Black Watch of Canada. Over the left front of the Glengarry is fixed a stamped, cap badge, that represents the 43^rd Cameron Highlanders of Canada "Battn. C.E.F. Winnipeg" that is affixed via lugs and cotter pin on a black silk rosette. The interior is lined, but is unmarked. The wool shows typical wear with light moth wear.
