D. Douglas Ogilvie

D. Douglas Ogilvie, often listed as Major D. D. Ogilvie or David Douglas Ogilvie, wrote military history centered on the First World War. He is known for books including Fighting on Three Fronts: A Black Watch Battalion in the Great War and The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry and 14th (F. & F. Yeo.) Battn. R.H. 1914–1919.

Publishers describe Fighting on Three Fronts as a classic account based on wartime diaries, following the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry from Gallipoli to Egypt, Palestine, and the Western Front. That emphasis on primary material gives his work a grounded, eyewitness quality that appeals to readers interested in soldiers' lived experience rather than only battlefield summaries.

Reliable biographical details about his personal life are limited in the sources I could confirm, so this overview focuses on his published work. From the evidence available, his reputation rests on preserving and interpreting the history of Scottish regiments with care and a strong sense of place.
