Herbert Marshall, Basil Rathbone, Ronald Colman and Claude Rains served together in London Scottish Regiment during the war. Marshall was wounded and lost a leg, but after the war, he continued his stage and screen career without a noticeable limp; in fact, he covered his disability so well, he was criticized by some British during WW2 for not joining up again.

Phillip Dye I think you'll find that Basil Rathbone served in the Liverpool Scottish - part of the King's Regiment, not the London Scottish (part of theLondon Regiment) Tom |
