BADGES CONFERRED
HELD BY MRS M. CALDWELL The recent death of Her Royal Highness Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyle, recalls to mind that she was an ardent worker for the comfort of the troops during the Great War, 1914-18, and particularly fer the Bth. Battalion (Princess Louise’s) Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders, of which regiment she was honorary colonel. Her Royal Highness took an active interest int Vie collection and despatch of comforts for the County of Argyle battalion, and at the close cf the war had a number of badges struck for presentation to her principal helpers in this work. One of these was presented, to Mrs M. Caldwell, of Dunoon, and now of Hamilton. The badge is of unique design, and bears the capital letter “L” for Louise, intertwined, surmounted with the coronet and the Royal crown. At either side it bears replicas of a boar’s head, representing the family crest of the Dukes of Argyle, and also of a wild cat, the crest of the Sutherland clan.
