Staff of the 3rd (reserve) Bn The Black Watch. Sometime between the Boer War and Great War.

Message on back of postcard read. “These are the ones that put you through it.”

Sgt-Mjr and later Hon. Lt-QMS William Fowler.

He was the subject a a few postcards. He was one of the few who served throughout the Great War, from beginning to its end, attached to the HQ coy.

Brass band of the 1st Battalion The Black Watch.

An undated postcard, but going by the teddy bear goat skins and Tam O’ Shanters, likely during the Great War in 1915/16.
