The 11th Hussars, Jack's original regiment - at the start of WW1
Jack's Military Crosses and Croix de Guerre were from Monchy East of Arras and from Buzancy, where the 15th Scottish Division actually came under the command of the French as did an American division as well. The first time this had happened. Afterwards the French erected a memorial to the Scots at Buzancy - another first - and the division was thanked in 1919 by the Belgians who came out in their droves to line the streets in the snow as the Scots marched through on a parade.
From L'Illustration - distributed by the French to the soldiers - signed by Jack Kelly and four or five others
