Black Watch Posted 4 November , 2006 Author Share Posted 4 November , 2006 Thanks for that, I saw his BWM on E-bay, seems like someone had tried to erase his name . So I kinda felt sorry for him and bought it. I'd no intention of buying medals other than Black Watch or Royal Scots, but I suppose if I was going to buy an English Regt, Buffs aren't to shabby .

Michael Posted 6 November , 2006 Share Posted 6 November , 2006 Neil That was a nice find (how did I let that one get by!!). He went overseas with the 1st Buffs on 7/9/1914 and was entited to the clasp and roses. There are a number of reasons why he ended up with the 2nd Buffs but without the service records it's pointless speculating. He was an old soldier and I estimate that he enlisted in the 3rd week of October 1902. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
