message: I don't know what the other violations are about exactly but I was thinking that a picture of the fortress of the regiment in Montreal (on Bleury) would do well here. It would portray the grandness and sophistication of the Black Watch of Canada and the important contribution its made to Canada's history. Canking (talk) 18:40, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I have acted boldly and removed a large chunk of very unencyclopaedic material. Although some of the information provided may be valid much of the work was not and was written in a 1st hand narrative. This needs to be completely rewritten to an encyclopaedic style. Apologies if I have removed your edit or well intentioned information. Ozdaren (talk) 05:48, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

message: According to family lore, I have a great uncle who served in the Canadian Black Watch, which fought Franco in the Spanish Civil War.  I would love to find more empiric evidence and/or background on this story.  Would someone consider recommending source material that might shed more light?  
Thanks in advance for your time.

replies: text: @Beyere5398, The Black Watch was absolutely not in the Spanish Civil War, nor was any other unit of the official Canadian military forces. It's possible that a man could have been in the Black Watch and fought Franco in different phases of his life, but not both at the same time. There was a Canadian unit in the war, the Mackenzie–Papineau Battalion, but it was not supported by the Canadian government in any way. Indefatigable (talk) 14:06, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
