Hi David; I'm looking into my Grandfather's brother, John Low who enlisted with the Black Watch in 1902 and seems to have died in South Africa about 1902 as well. You don't have anything on this Regiment do you? this John Low was born in Montrose, Scotland and enlisted with the Montrose - Forfar group. Any help would be great. I was in Scotland researching 3 years ago but never considered looking into the Black Watch at that time.. Thanks for any help you could give me.

Hello Brian, You sent this message to me. Did you mean to send it to David or did you mean to send me a copy? Thought I would let you know just in case you are waiting for a reply from David and it doesn't appear.
