Looking forward to this talk. It has made me review so much of the extant literature on these individuals. Broad hint, some of these men were continuing their service from the #ThirtyYearsWar - but most were fresh out of Scotland. Why? (And where did they go?)

111 years on from the first day of the battle of Loos.

10 men from Arbroath were killed that day. This puts it second only to Aubers Ridge as the towns costliest day of the Great War.

We Have Ways attendees absolutely not beating the allegations that #milhist is predominantly a middle-/senior-aged white male hobby.
