Labroisse 246 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Very cool Maus. Much respect to that generation. Maushake 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maushake 286 Posted April 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Yes, Hotlead, that's the same Black Watch! My great-grandfather was responsible for raising its first battalion in Montreal just after war broke out in 1914. Talbot, I believe his medals etc. are in the hands of his grandson, my uncle!
