Yesterday, we bid a sad farewell to Davie Mowatt, 4th Battalion Seaforth Highlanders, whose funeral service was held at Saint Mary The Virgin in Ware, Hertfordshire. Davie was born in Dornoch in Scotland in 1920. He left school at 14 and became a farm labourer. In 1937, aged 17, he joined the TA, when the recruiting sergeant came into the pub where he and his friends were drinking. When war was declared, Davie's unit, the 4th Battalion Seaforth Highlanders, was posted to Surr

Sadly, we have been told tonight that another veteran has departed us. Davie Mowatt, 4th Battalion Seaforth Highlanders, bravely fought through France with the 51st Highland Division in June 1940 and was captured with the remainder of the Division at St Valery. He became a POW in Poland and took part on the 'Long March' in March 1945. He was 94 on 9th December 2014. Rest in peace, David. It was a pleasure to have known you. #DavieMowatt #4thBattalionSeaforthHighlanders
