I am indebted to Bob Marsh of Williamsburg, Virginia, USA, for these pages of notes written by his grandfather. Allan G. Marsh was a Kitchener volunteer, serving in the 15th (Service) Battalion, the Royal Scots (1st Edinburgh).

Allan was posted to the 2nd Battalion, the Royal Scots, when his own battalion ceased to exist after taking heavy casualties in the Battle of the Lys.
