description The Highland Brigade at Tel el-Kebir provides an excellent context to explore concepts of identity and belonging relying on both internal and external definitions. The Brigade's ad hoc nature prevented it from developing group characteristics and thus from developing an internal sense of identity. The reorganisation immediately prior to Tel el-Kebir created new groups that were forced to negotiate new identities. In some cases, such as for the 1st Gordons, this called for almost a total reconstruction of artefacts and espoused values. In looking for artefacts, espoused values and underlying assumptions, we can draw conclusions about how groups, national and supranational, identified themselves and responded to conflict.
