Description: This regimental headdress insignia is struck from a bright, durable white metal alloy. The central design highlights a masterfully detailed figure of St. Andrew, clad in traditional flowing robes and holding a large, smooth-faced saltire cross. Flanking the saintly figure is a dense, beautifully textured wreath composed of Scottish thistle blooms and leaves, which arches around the sides of the composition. The base of the insignia is anchored by a flowing, deep-set banner that is cleanly inscribed with the family name "CAMERON" in bold block lettering, all resting above a decorative lower thistle border.
Circa: 1903 – 1912
Notes:
Worn by the Western Australian Highlanders (Volunteer Regiment), raised in 1903 and affiliated to the Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders. The unit adopted the Cameron badge design with local manufacture in white metal. The regiment was later absorbed into the 16th Battalion (Cameron Highlanders of Western Australia) in 1912, making this an early and short-lived colonial issue.
