Maushake 213 Report post Posted April 24 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 US103_Talbot reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
