The Royal Highland Regiment, The Black Watch, Medal Roll 1801 - 1911 by Capt John Stewart. - Cranston Military Prints

The Royal Highland Regiment, The Black Watch, Medal Roll 1801 - 1911 by Capt John Stewart.


The Royal Highland Regiment, The Black Watch, Medal Roll 1801 - 1911 by Capt John Stewart.

This is a goldmine for historians, medallists and genealogists; here are nominal rolls of officers and men of the two regiments present at the various campaigns and battles for which medals were awarded. Prior to 1881 they were two separate regiments and the lists are shown under 42nd and 73rd Foot, but in 1881 they became the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Black Watch and are listed accordingly. This fascinating record begins with Waterloo and continues with the Peninsula, Kaffir Wars, Crimea, Indian Mutiny, Gold Coast, Egypt, Suakin, Sudan and on to S Africa (1899-1902) Where there were clasps awarded for battles in a campaign the entitlement to a particular clasp is shown. A remarks/comments column provides additional information on indivduals such as deaths, casualties, discharges, desertions, forfeitures. Victoria Cross awards (with citations), and those of the DSO, DCM, MSM, LSGCM constitute separate lists as do awards to Volunteers and Territorials. Also included are the affiliated Royal Highlanders of Canada (5th Regiment) and the New South Wales Scottish Rifle Regiment.

UN249.  The Black Watch by Richard Simkin.

The Black Watch by Richard Simkin
A dying soldier of the Black Watch is supported by his comrade, while another stands to protect them, as the ranks of the Highlanders march on, after the battles at Sebastopol during the Crimean war.

Comrades by Robert Gibb.
 Following an astonishing night march, the tanks of 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry and men of 1st Battalion Black Watch found themselves ensconced in the village of St. Aignan de Cramesnil some 4 miles behind German lines.  Shortly after noon a small group of Tiger I tanks were spotted advancing north by 3 Troop, A Squadron.  Some minutes later Captain Boardman arrived in his Sherman I and when the enemy were within 800 yards he gave the order to open fire.  The first two shots by the troops Firefly brewed up the rearmost target.  After moving to a new position Trooper Joe Ekins fired again, knocking out a second Tiger.  Finally he turned his attention to the remaining tank, destroying it with two more rounds.  Unknown to the British tankmen at the time it is now believed that the last Tiger was that of the top German tank ace Hauptsturmfurher Michael Wittmann.

The Death of Wittmann, St Aignan de Cramesnil, France, 8th August 1944 by David Pentland.
 The Black Watch is shown with the Coldstream Guards and Scots Guards in the distance advancing up from the river Alma to attack the Russian forces at the top of the surrounding hills.

The Battle of Alma by Felix Philippoteaux.
