Photo of Tommy Calvert2nd Lieutenant Thomas Calvert was at Gallipoli Farm when I think this photo was taken in around 21 August 1917. Tommy Calvert got two MC's during the war, but there is only one that the Black Watch know about as the other one was not recorded. I think this is the date as to when the unknown MC was earned was at Gallipoli Farm. Tommy Calvert was gassed 23rd March, 1918 and was sent home to U.K. 3rd April, 1918. This information is listed in the History of The Black Watch Royal Highlanders 1914-1918.
