Black Watch in Iraq
Found a couple of interesting stories, here's one of some being honoured for their roles in Iraq. (Story is here: http://scotlandtoday.scottishtv.co.u...7058&newsType=)
But I found this story fascinating. It concerns the leaflet the Black Watch use to identify themselves to the Iraqis. This leaflet identifies the troops as Scottish, not British, and the flag is the Saltire, not the Union Jack. (The story is here: http://ancapistan.typepad.com/unfairwitness/2004/11/. I suggest caution because the rest of the site has some graphic images and strong anti-war sentiment, which is good so split the difference in the propaganda.)
