L/Sgt. Frederick Proudfoot
British Army 10th Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders
from:Alloa
My Grandfather, Frederick Proudfoot was in the WW1 in the 10th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. During 1914 to the summer of 1915 he wrote a daily diary whilst in the trenches. With great difficulty I am transcribing his minute writing. He was wounded returned home and after his recovery joined the Blackwatch taking with him a box Brownie camera. I am now scanning these photos. This has been such a sobering yet uplifting experience going back in time to the day he wrote his diaries.
