Faster Boys - Give Them Hell! Loos, September 25th 1915 by Jason Askew.

Dawn. British artillery thundered, and the territorial soldiers 15th Scottish division stormed towards the German trenches defending the coal mining village of Loos. The gas cloud that preceded the Highland advance was pendulous and largely stationary due to a distinct lack of wind, and ,upon emerging from the smudgy gas, the highlanders were pelted with machine gun fire and shrapnel from the defending German batteries. Not to be denied, the Scots gritted their teeth, and with an officer shouting faster boys! give them hell! the highlanders charged straight at the defenses. The Germans, unnerved by the stubborn courage of their kilted opponents, began to fall back through the village of Loos. The Camerons and the Black Watch, shouting their battle cry and charging down the main road of the village, then engaged the defending Germans in a series of savage battles for each and every house - hob-nailed boots, rifle butts, and bayonets being wielded with great enthusiasm by the vengeful Scots. By 8.00am the village was in Scottish hands.

Cameron Highlanders Capture a German Force on the Yser by Jason Askew.

This incident took place on October 23rd,1914. A party of German soldiers had been driven to take shelter in the small house. British artillery then targeted the house, making the situation of the Germans uncomfortable. Under cover of the bombardment, a company of Cameron Highlanders rushed the position, intercepting the Germans as they tried to extricate themselves. After a brief struggle, and being somewhat unnerved by the prompt appearance of the Highlanders; the German group surrendered.

How Private Ross Tollerton Won His VC by Allan Stewart (P)

On 13th September 1914, the British had forced the passage of the Aisne. The following morning a general advance was begun, but our men soon came under a very heavy shell and machine-gun fire, and Captain Matheson of the Cameron Highlanders, fell severely wounded. Private Tollerton lifted the wounded officer onto his back and carried him to an adjoining cornfield, where he laid him down under cover of a small cornstack. After rejoining his comrades he was hit in both his right hand and the right temple, but nevertheless, when they received orders to retire he went back to the wounded officer ad remained with him for three days until an opportunity occurred for them both to rejoin the regiment. Private Tollerton received the VC for his splendid gallantry and devotion.

Remember that you are Scottish! Aubers Ridge, 9th May 1915 by Jason Askew.

Aubers / Neuve Chapelle -1500- The 1st battalion, Black Watch, brought in to relieve the shattered 2nd Brigade, go over the top and advanced at the double across no -mans land. Suffering heavy casualties from the incessant German machine gun fire, elements of the regiment plunged into the German trenches just as the bombardment lifted. A desperate battle then took place for the German position, the outnumbered Highlanders fighting tenaciously; elements of the regiment even reached the German second line. In spite of their superhuman bravery, and being reinforced by two companies of the Camerons, sheer German numbers proved to be overwhelming for the Black Watch; every single highlander being killed or wounded in defending this hard won position.

Private J. Little Collecting Important Documents From A house Which Was Being Heavily Shelled.

On the afternoon of November 4th 1914, during the first battle of Ypres, the German artillery got the range of the 1st Corpse Headquarters, and several men were killed or wounded. On receiving orders the survivors left the house, but it was then discovered that important documents had been left behind. Private John little, of the 1st Battalion, Cameron Highlanders, gallantly returned and, while the house was being rapidly levelled by the enemys shellfire, collected the papers and carried them to safety. For his gallantry and devotion to duty he was awarded the D.C.M. He has since been awarded the Russian Order of St. George (3rd Class)
