Today is the day that the Black Watch celebrates the awarding of the red hackle worn in the regimental bonnet. Let us remember the past and current members of 3 Scots, Royal Regiment of Scotland and those former members of the Black Watch, Royal Highland Regiment.

Frank McFarland. . . his great nephew is my best friend. Frank was the last survivor of his RHR WWI battalion.
I once saw a recruiting poster for the Regiment which said, "Join the Black Watch and Wear the Red Hackle." I have looked, in vain, for a reproduction of that poster or even a photograph of it. Does anyone know where it can be found?
