Statistics relating to the men on the 1914 Star medal roll for the Black Watch

It's been an interest of mine, when time allows, to research the men listed upon the 1914 for the Black Watch. Here i will share the statistical breakdown of these results, so far. These will be updated as more research is done.   1914 Star   The 1st, 2nd and 5th battalions of the Royal Highlanders (Black Watch) reached France and Belgium in the qualifying period for the awarding of the 1914 Star, between 5th August and midnight on the 22nd of November 1914.   Com
