Commentaires : | This set of ceremonial bayonet tip covers was presented by Lieutenant Colonel C.C. Thompson in 1939 to the PEI Highlanders. These tips are used to cover the sharp ends of bayonets, used mainly in parade to protect the Regimental colors. Once fitted to the blade tip, they render the bayonet blunt and safe. In 1927, the 82nd had become known as the PEI Highlanders, and in 1931 they became affiliated with the Black Watch RHR of the British Army. In WWII the PEI Highlanders mobilized, serving in Nova Scotia and then in Newfoundland until 1943.
