Village seeks Scots soldiers’ relatives

A Belgian village is appealing for help to find living relatives of forgotten soldiers of the First World War.

Members of the 14th Fife & Forfar Yeomanry of the Black Watch died in the village of Orcq, near Tournai, Belgium.

Each year, the village re members the soldiers but this year a special ceremony is planned to commemorate the 100th anniversary. The village is inviting family members to join the memorial service on Saturday 20 October. Eight Black Watch soldiers are buried in the Orcq communal cemetery.
