One of the most thrilling incidents described in the narrative of the battlfe of Loos, prepared by the Histori(;al Section of llie Committee of Imperial Defence from such official records as are at present available^ is that of the rally to two pieces of Cameron tartan iii the later stages of the battle at Hill 70. ,
