So ends the history of the 14th (Fife and Forfar Yeomanry) Battalion, the Black Watch, Royal Highlanders.
On 6th September 1915 Lord Lovat received the following wire from Windsor Castle:—
“I send you and your Brigade my best wishes on your departure for Active Service. I feel sure that the great and traditional fighting reputation of Scotsmen will be more than safe with you, and that your Brigade will spare no effort in the interests of the Empire’s cause to bring this war to a victorious conclusion.
George R.I.”
The purport of this short history is to show how we did our best to carry out His Majesty’s command.
