Very interesting it seems the Black Watch may have been a bit of a tall story however as far as you are aware would soldiers move between regiments or do you think this was unlikely

You mentioned MIC, im not sure what this is however could you send this ?

Thanks again

Blimey...He didn't get his medals until 1940!

Is that received or returned in 1940??

Balkans form 1915...that ties in...I'll cross reference with the Black Watch and their movements tonight ;)
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

Hello

Yes it is possible referring to your 1st question.

3 of my GG Uncles (all brothers) were born and bred in South London with no Scottish ancestral roots and all joined the Black Watch.
