Pipe Mjr. Duncan Anne Macfarlane

British Army 1st Btn. Black Watch

from:Crieff

Pipe Major Duncan Macfarlane after the war, in 1923. He is central to the photograph behind the large drum.

My great grandfather, Duncan Macfarlane, was in the Black Watch in WW1. He was born in Brig O'Turk and served throughout the war returning to Scotland and living until 1968. He was a Pipe Major at some stage and was active in the Comrie and Creiff areas. I do not have any more details of his service and would like to find out more. I think that he may have been in the 1st Battalion.

His son, also Duncan Macfarlane, was in WW2 but did not return home. He was captured in St Vallery en Caux before being sent to Poland where he died in 1943.Again more details on my great uncle are sought.
