Black Watch


These men were part of the legendary Black Watch.  One of them is a little relaxed,
while the others seems to be on edge.  I think the photo is remarkable.

  2. The Black Watch had performed on the White House lawn for President Kennedy on 13 November 1963. (can be seen on the JFK Presidential Library’s website)
    Mrs Kennedy insisted the Black Watch be part of President Kennedy’s funeral cortège, as President Kennedy was impressed by their performance at the White House and had an interest in Scotland’s history. (“)
