This is another book I got recently from www.amazon.uk for research on my Bolt Action gamming.
The text covers the Scottish divisions raised for the First World War and then the Second World War.
The premise of this text is explaining that the focus of the Scottish soldier in both conflicts was not necessarily on their regiment, but their division.
However, I would disagree. Scottish Regiments, and battalions are very much big on their esprit de corps, guarding their traditions fiercely with pride. Their tartans, mess traditions, cap badges all go to forging the tough soldiers Scotland has made.
I also bought the book in memory of the Scottish Independence Referendum of 2014.
