First World War Battalion Tribute Unveiled

A tribute to a battalion of Scottish reservists during the First World War has been unveiled in Edinburgh. 
 
McCrae's Battalion were recruited in just five days in 1914, and were known as the 'sporting battalion' because many of the troops were players from local football teams.
