93rd Aero, R.Talbot Posted April 24, 2019 Report Posted April 24, 2019 That's badass man! Where are his medals, awards, etc.? I hope they were passed down. Maushake 1 Quote
J5_Hotlead Posted April 24, 2019 Report Posted April 24, 2019 Wow! Thanks for sharing! Is this the same Black Watch that he was a part of? Maushake 1 Quote
Labroisse Posted April 24, 2019 Report Posted April 24, 2019 Very cool Maus. Much respect to that generation. Maushake 1 Quote
Maushake Posted April 24, 2019 Author Report 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!

DeFreest Larner Posted April 25, 2019 Report Posted April 25, 2019 Wow, look at that chest full of medals! And a Black Watch soldier, too! Those guys are 100% no nonsense! You must be proud Maushake 1 Quote
