Replica of the Perth pendant, in the shape of a "miniature gold charm", to:
Presentation made by Captain Haynes, on behalf of members of the Active Service contingent of the 5th V.B. Royal Highlanders, at Taymouth Castle.
There was a very interesting function at Taymouth Castle the other evening. During the past summer the members of the First Active Service Company in connection with the 5th Volunteers Battalion Royal Highlanders, who returned from South Africa in spring, were presented at the annual inspection of the regiment at Birnam with medallions subscribed for by the city and county of Perth as a memento of their service to their country. The gifts were handed over by the Marchioness of Breadalbane.
The men, greatly appreciating her Ladyship’s consideration in this matter, and more especially her many acts of kindness and remembrance of them while in the field, resolved to show their gratitude in a tangible form. Accordingly they subscribed among themselves, and, through Captain Haynes, recently presented her Ladyship with a replica of the medallion in the shape of a miniature gold charm.
