He has a 'Hackle' (usually feathers) at the rear of his beret .......... I would suggest that you google for this to see what turns up.

Hello everyone.
My dad was in the Black Watch and he has a bonnet like the one in the picture and it has a red hackle on it to.
He was in Palestine so wore the khaki shirt. So may be something to think about.

I would agree with Black Watch.
