Black Watch Brigade : ウィキペディア英語版 | Black Watch Brigade
The Black Watch Brigade was a Territorial Force infantry brigade of the British Army. Formed in 1908, it was not part of any division, instead being assigned to Coastal Defence duties in Scottish Command. It was dissolved in early 1915 as its constituent battalions were posted to other formations. ==History== The Territorial Force (TF) was formed on 1 April 1908 following the enactment of the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act 1907 (7 Edw.7, c.9) which combined and re-organised the old Volunteer Force, the Honourable Artillery Company and the Yeomanry. On formation, the TF contained 14 infantry divisions and 14 mounted yeomanry brigades. Three more infantry brigades also existed outside the divisional structure: the Black Watch Brigade, the Lothian Brigade and the South Wales Brigade. The brigade headquarters was at Dundee and, as the name would suggest, it was organized with four battalions of the Black Watch (Royal Highlanders): * 4th (City of Dundee) Battalion at Dundee * 5th (Angus and Dundee) Battalion at Arbroath * 6th (Perthshire) Battalion at Perth * 7th (Fife) Battalion at St Andrews 5th (Renfrewshire) Battalion, Princess Louise's (Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders) at Greenock was attached. The brigade was assigned to Scottish Coast Defences in Scottish Command.〔
