My grandfather was in the first battle of the Somme, one of the 6th. My grandfather never really talked about the Somme, but he told me this story when I was 10 years old and this memory will always be with me:
He was wearing the kilt at night during the attack. All the Germans could see was the white of their legs. He was shot in both legs and was shipped back home, not like many of his friends who never made it.
