Booklet issued by the Dundee Advertiser, this is on my wish list but no luck so far.

Many years ago I was offered this booklet by a lad in Edinburgh, his price was a wee bit high, 75. Brith Pounds, I've not see it since. Good luck with your search.

I assume there was a booklet of "dinna forget" for each battalion? I've seen one for the 6th Battalion also, 12 pages and all photo's.

The 4th and 7th Btn. booklets can be viewed at the Dundee City and Kirkcaldy libraries respectively.

"My Six Years With The Black Watch" by John Gordon, published Boston, Mass. 1928. The fuzzy-wuzzie campaign and attempt to relieve the siege of Kharthoum. (Sp.) A thoroughly good read and the author had to have kept a journal to be so accurate...300 some odd pages, may be of interest to BW afffectionados. I'm 70 now, and it was the very first "grown up" book I ever read.
Regards to all!
Yours, Aye!

Ron, could take you up on that offer?

I would be interested to know if there was a Sergeant or Sergeant Major Macpeherson, initial W. serving with the 42nd in 1845.

Thanks
