Come on, Royal Scots!
It is the opening day of the Battle of Loos, 25th September 1915. Cloud gas hangs over the the flatlands around Lens, men of the 11th Royal Scots, in P type gas helmets to protect them, emerge from a communication trench in support of the main attack. In the confusion of battle they would get lost, getting caught in a wire entanglement. Seeking to rally his men Lt. Col Dundas was heard to cry "Come on, Royal Scots!". He, along with many of his battalion, would not survive the day.
