Just realised my mistake , the units I listed that used 67 for an id were in second inf brigades, where in fact 67 is for junior inf brigades. With the Highland LI and A&S Highlanders, this would make them part of 227th Infantry Brigade, 15th (Scottish) Infantry Div.

The HLIofC was also numbered "67" in 3rd Div..and was often seconded to the Brits...

A few photos - just to see if I can..A parade in Goderich, timeline event in Amhurstburg, and carrying the choir for a memorial dedication in Waterloo, Ontario.

Just realised the location name is spelt wrongly in the photo caption quoted, it should be Moergestel, some very quick research revealed that 15th (Scottish) Infantry Division liberated the area a day or so before the time of the photo, here is one link that explains it;

so it looks like my post yesterday was not far off the mark
