The Red Hackle Magazine of the Black Watch May 2011 No 111 (page 5) has Regimental and battalion News topics
A BLACK WATCH STAINED GLASS WINDOW :
The editor received an email from Nicholas Orr, a retired officer of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards who served with the Black Watch battlegroup in the 1980s . He drew my attention to a Black Watch Stained Glass window in ST COLUMBA'S with New Lendal Church in York .
The church originally built for the Presbyterians in 1879 records that "Scottish regiments continued to play a lively part in both services and social life of the church . The Black watch band was a favourite ."
The 2nd Battalion was stationed in York from 1896 - 1898 before moving to Aldershot and then the South African War . The archivist was not aware of this window's existance .
The photograph records "The Black watch window displayed above the Nativity window in St Columba's with new Lendal Church in York . " |
