A Sikh soldier in the UK has made history by becoming the first guardsman to wear a turban rather than a bearskin at the Buckingham Palace here, breaking over a century-old tradition. Jatinderpal Singh Bhullar, 25, has been allowed to break hundreds of years of tradition to observe his religion. The Scots Guards, one of five foot regiments who guard the Queen, have worn bearskins on parade since 1832.

That's odd - Like most people presumably, I thought they wore peaked caps until the Crimean War in the 1850s, and only took to bearskins after the Battle of Balaclava.Originally posted by Troll View Post
