McCrae's Battalion
The Story of the 16th Royal Scots
By Jack Alexander
McCrae's Own was the 'Heart of Midlothian Battalion' raised in Edinburgh shortly after the start of the Great War. It was perhaps the finest unit in Lord Kitchener's volunteer army - a brotherhood of sportsmen bound together by their extraordinary colonel and their loyalty to a quaintly named Football club - the Gorgie 'Hearts'. Who was the Colonel? How did the players come to enlist? Where did they fight? Where did they die? All these questions and many more answered. Truth proves more remarkable than legend.
