we went to the blackwatch museum in Perth a few weeks ago as my ggreat grandfather served with them. He died 1909 but we couldnt find anything on him there. Have tried various searches but looks like we will have to go to kew records office to find anything. We know he served in the crimean as he had a medal for that.
