Maushake 231 Report post 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! 2 HotleadColdfeet and US213_TALBOT reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
