‘When the knife came up through the pool table, audiences gasped’
Within six months of its launch in 2006, the National Theatre of Scotland (NTS) produced a globe-conquering hit. Inspired by tragic events at Camp Dogwood in Iraq, Black Watch was a humane portrayal of young squaddies on the frontline.
In this article, the makers of the devastating drama recall how it grew and grew.

"Black Watch" was one of the most remarkable theatrical experiences I've had. I saw it twice, in different venues. And I've loved National Theatre of Scotland ever since.
"‘Audiences gasped’: how Iraq war epic Black Watch conquered the world."

I never thought I'd be celebrating a German #historical #fantasy novel, but #SchwarzeWacht / #BlackWatch (?) by #RichardSchwartz offers an exciting plot, nice characters & an atmospheric narrative – without any childish silliness. It wipes the floor with #Abercrombie's #TheDevils – so far! #booksky

Today is Indigenous Veterans Day, and I want to honour my Inuk/Mi'kmaw father, Chesley Powell. He was a peacekeeper in the 60s and very early 70s. He was exposed to all sorts of awful chemicals (PCBs and Agent Orange) which caused skin issues for him and likely caused the joint issues my sister, her daughter, and I were born with.
He was a private with the Black Watch and served in Cyprus, Israel, Jamaica, as well as in Canada during the FLQ Crisis.
He wasn't born in Canada but in Newfoundland when it was still a British colony. He ended up as the honour guard for Queen Elizabeth and her mother, probably because he looked very good in uniform. He was a very handsome man in his youth and made for primo arm candy.
Fun trivia: at one point, someone had the bright idea to change the way the Black Watch presented arms to the Queen. Previously, they all kneeled on both knees. On the occasion of the ill-thought-out change, they instead knelt on one knee with the other up. Considering they were all in kilts and were in full regimental mode, the Queen saw a lot of soldier junk swinging free. Dad was in the front row and totally flashed the Queen.
She didn't lose her composure but decreed that the Black Watch should go back to their previous method of presenting arms.

Oh wow. It’s even worse than I thought.
“In 2004, the widow of a retired general who had commanded the Black Watch regiment at Gagetown rekindled public interest in Agent Orange. She revealed that when awarding her husband a disability pension, the government had admitted to using Agent Orange. This acknowledgement kicked off new interest and investigations by various journalists. The flurry of attention then lead the government to begin its own investigation. By late November 2005, 300 of the 800 troops of the Black Watch stationed at CFB Gagetown — and believed to have been exposed to Agent Orange — had already died.”
My dad was a member of the Black Watch. I guess he’s one of the lucky survivors.

Trying to color in darker lighting. It sure is a learning process.

Blackwatch must've been AMAZING and I want so much more lore about it.

Fam's napping, so I took the time to listen to Tom Petty and draw some Blackwatch Genjis at max emo. I think I am spending my vacation wisely.
