9th Black Watch Posted 12 March , 2004 Share Posted 12 March , 2004 Dear all, I recently acquired a single victory medal to Pte. Daniel Flanagan, 2nd South Lancashire Regt., killed in action, 14 November 1914. Could anyone tell me where the battalion was engaged that day. It's a bit outwith my usual collecting interests.
