[edit] Confirmation a VC recipient is Scottish.
For confirmation & biographical reasons it is necessary that all Scottish VC recipients on this list have birth & place dates in Scotland (village,Town City) Remembering VCs born in the UK (Scotland, England, Wales & Ireland before nationality act of 1949) were all British citizens.
To define whether a VC is to be listed under Scottish, Welsh, English or Irish recipients lists it is then imperative their birth dates & place names are inclosed to define their countries of origin.
This information can be found in all three editions of 'The Register of the Victoria Cross' 1981, 1988 & 1997.
