*General Sir Henry Mackinnon (Commander in Chief, Western Command) to [[Hugh Lowther, 5th Earl of Lonsdale|Lord Lonsdale]]: {{quote-left}}I am much distressed about the War Office plans for your Battalion. I did hear that the Battalion were going to be put in the Highland Division. That would not be so bad if it were the 1st Highland, which I understand is going abroad soon. If, however, it is the 2nd Highland, I should be sorry....If you ever come across [[gw:Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener|Lord Kitchener]], you might mention the Battalion to him, and you certainly have my authority to say how very highly I think of the material and training." <ref>{{lowther|recno=279}}</ref>
