Hi,
I am researching this action and have many photographs, diaries and maps related to it.
Would love to see a photo and record any stories you might remember.
I can also share the information I have gathered so far too.

all the best

Iain

Roseway, the RSF was amalgamated with the HLI in 1959 to form the Royal Highland Fusiliers, they have a Museum on Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. Might be worth an enquiry.    Skoosh.
