John Forbes Michie was one of the original officers of the Regiment who served as Officer Commanding D Company from 19-Feb-1892. He served to 1928, retiring as a Colonel. Col Michie had been one of the foremost instigators of the movement for the formation of the Regiment, and always stood staunchly behind its steady growth. He acted as Paymaster during the First World War and in the trying period of reorganization afterwards. Perhaps he should be called the Treasurer. When funds were needed by the new battalions, for Christmas gifts for the 15th Battalion, and for countless other expenditures, they were always forthcoming no matter what the condition of the exchequer. His wise counsel was eagerly sought and highly valued in all matters of moment to the Regiment. He served as Honorary Lieutenant Colonel from 1939 to 1947.
