A Christmas Truce - 6th Battalion, Gordon Highlanders - Territorials.

Many of us are aware of the miraculous events during the First World War when a Christmas Truce developed in amongst the carnage and death between the two sides.  What is remarkable is that this was experienced by the 6th Battalion Gordon Highlanders themselves.

On show in this small display are some world war 1 items, many of them personnel. This display is a precursor to a larger display planned for Christmas 2009 - the 95th anniversary of that Christmas Truce in 1914.

A small display on Bt. Major George Davidson 1776 - 1815

Bt. Major George Davidson was mortally wounded while commanding his regiment, the 42nd Foot (Black Watch) at the battle of Quatre Bras in June 1815 on the eve of the battle of Waterloo.
