Hi Bronwyn

To explain more fully, in 1939 the 4/5th Bn BW reverted to its original battalion numbers, ie, 4th Bn Black Watch (as did the 5th) until 1947 when both battalions amalgamated once more.  So he could have been in either .

Here's a link that that you might find interesting:

Thanks again Anne   :)

I'll do some 'googling' and see what else I can find.
