Tartan date: 01/01/2006
Registration date: This tartan was recorded prior to the launch of The Scottish Register of Tartans.

Registration notes: This asymmetric tartan was designed by Matthew Newsome of the Tartans Museum in Franklin, North Carolina, USA. It was commissioned by 'The Baghdad 12' (listed on file in Franklin) in January of 2006, to commemorate the service of the Private Military Contractors serving as Personal Security Detail (PSD) during Operation Iraqi Freedom. The colours in this tartan were chosen for their particular symbolism to the PSD members: 'Brown and tan represent the Iraqi desert we served in; green is for the new Iraq we strive to create; the red is the blood we shed; and the black is the life of our friends laid down for our mission.' PSD members, direct support staff, and immediate family are authorized to wear this tartan.

Please note

Where tartans were recorded before the establishment of the Scottish Register of Tartans (SRT) on 5 February 2009, the original Scottish Tartans Authority (STA) and the Scottish Tartans World Register (STWR) reference numbers have been retained. The new SRT reference number can be found in the address box on your browser (url).

The registration criteria now applied by the Register conforms to the Scottish Register of Tartans Act 2008. These criteria are different to those previously applied by either the STA or the STWR. You may wish to refer to the STA website for further information on the original recording of this tartan.
