rolt968 Posted 27 February , 2021 Share Posted 27 February , 2021 Two officers of 5 Black Watch were "seconded under paragraphs 112 and 114 of Territorial Force Regulations" on 19 August 1914 (London Gazette 18 August 1914). Unfortunately it does not say to what they were seconded. Can anyone tell me what this was about, please? (One of them was Captain David Wilkie who was on the way to the US when war broke out - on landing he immediately caught the ship back and joined his battalion.)

On re-reading I notice I missed a crucial "respectively". (Paragraph 112 - Wilkie. Paragraph 114 - Wedderburn.) RM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Thanks Craig I see David Wilkie was "restored to establishment" with effect from 25 September 1914 although it didn't appear in the London Gazette until the LG of 1 January 1915.

I am working on time line for David Wilkie. The London Gazette alone has taken me a couple of hours. He was commissioned as a Volunteer 2/Lt (just) in March 1907.
