War service[edit]

'He enlisted in the armed forces at the outbreak of the World War I in 1914, allegedly hoping to be assigned to a Scottish regiment because he wanted to wear a kilt, but was wounded in the field and sent home.'

Slightly non-sequitur. What regiment was he in, and which battle was he wounded at? Unless he actually served in a Highland unit, the kilt business seems not very encyclopedic. Valetude (talk) 14:06, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
