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.

The Captive Eagle by J P Beadle 		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.
