I see no Black Watch listed on the Great War panel but out of the six names two are Royal Naval Division.

The soldier listed as Ralls James W. Notts. & Derby Regiment Private, was in fact:

76170 Private James Wallace FALLS, 10th Bn. Sherwood Foresters (Notts and Derby Regiment), son of William and Jane Wallace Falls, of Balmerino, Fife who died on 22 August 1918 near Dieppe, France and is buried in Mont Huon Military Cemetery, Le Treport, France

I am connected through Christina Drummond who was the wife of his Uncle, Christian Henderson Falls
