In a letter to his family, a soldier from one of the Scottish territorial regiments wrote an account of his experiences fighting in Belgium.
“He was in the thick of the fighting that came as a result of the Kaiser’s desperate attempt to take Ypres, yet he indulges in no heroics. He writes as though reporting a cricket game or a boat race.”
