This sash is used by Old Comrades Association (OCA) and others at funerals of veterans. The sash is placed on coffin or altar then Highlanders in attendance come forward, salute and place a poppy on the sash. At the conclusion of the funeral the sash is given to the next of kin. This ceremony began after WWII and was initiated by the OCA.
