The 1st Battalion Black Watch are listed in the 1911 Irish census.

Kindly pointed out by a chap on the Black Watch forum.

Interesting to see the hospital returns for what afflicted soldiers in peacetime. I'd expected to see a few accidents re weaponry, fractures etc but the majority appear to be diseased (quite a few STDs at that).

Very interesting to see just how high a percentage of the Black Watch personnel were Scottish-born. (I'd have expected to see the occasional English-born officer, but it is a small sample size and unrepresentative given that the census returns cover military hospital, some officers' quarters and certain support staff lodgings).

Thanks for sharing this.
