[edit] Soldier nationality

The soldiers were not Scottish, they are British. Scotland has not existed as a sovereign nation since 1707 when it became part of the Kingdom of Great Britian, the soldiers were all from Britain but that soldiers particular nationality within Britain was Scottish.

Those soldiers WERE Scottish; they were all from Scotland. Yes, they're ALSO British. But it's not incorrect to say that they're Scottish. I'm from Virginia, and Virginia isn't a sovereign nation (although it should be). Is it therefore incorrect to say that I'm a Virginian?
They were under the Juristiction of the BRITISH ARMY, not the 'Scottish Army' - because there is no such thing, in military terms you would not be called the Virginian Army just because you were from Virginia would you? BritBoy (talk) 23:58, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
But they were Scotsmen who were soldiers in the army of the United Kingdom. You can see that they're specifically a Scottish regiment — it's not like every unit in the British Expeditionary Force was provided with bagpipers or tartan hats. Nyttend (talk) 05:51, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
