I had a few basic facts regarding my grandfather from my uncle
1) Name, Robert Davidson Nicolson from Dundee.
2) He finished in the 4/5 battalion, Black Watch
3) He was a territorial before the war started
From this I assumed that he started the war in either the 4 or the 5 territorial battalions
The 5 ( Dundee and Angus ) landed in France in Nov 1914.
The 4 ( City of Dundee ) landed in France in Feb 26 1915.
I have found what I believe is his Medals Index Card, see attached :-
On the card it says that he joined the French theatre on 24th Feb.
I know that the 4 left Dundee on the 23rd Feb, and arrived in Le Havre on the 26th,
do you agree that this was probably him ?
I cant seem to find his Service card, Maybe it is one of the 60% lost in the Kew bombing ?
