I recently saw a video on You-Tube featuring the Black Watch in a homecoming parade. Several members wore a red sash. Can anyone tell me what the significance of this sash is? Thanks.

Hi Dusty, Colour Sgt's wear a red sash.
Cheers, Ade.
In the Australian army (whose regimental traditions are largely those of the British army) the red sash is worn by sgts and warrant officers on ceremonial parades-the sash and it's colour came from it being used to drag wounded soldiers out of the battle line and to the rear in the times when battle was a close quarters fight.
Thanks, Ade.
