[Loch-Ruadh] Medieval Warriors Laid to Rest Again.

A story out of WWII was related to me, many years ago, by a Scottish friend,
about the Black Watch Bn.  They found a barn outside a French village and
inside the barn were the cruelly slaughtered citizens of that village.  As
the story was told, the next batch of German troops that they came upon was
treated the same way, in reprisal.  Sounds like these fine Scottish men take
things very seriously and it is good to have them on our side!
