Introduction
This list of personnel has been compiled whilst researching A history of the 9th Battalion
Royal Scots, and forms an index of various sources. Users are in all cases directed to the
source information.
I hope it will be of some use to those researching family members. Please be aware that there
is considerable room for error in a list such as this, and sincere apologies are expressed for
any errors that may be found.
Similarly, this index points at a lot of other people’s hard work, and their publications should
always be viewed to see the information in its original form. If you wish something deleted,
or would like an attribution changed, please contact me.
Corrections, clarifications and additions are all welcome to neillgilhooley@gmail.com

Notes on the Index
1. Names are for the 9th Bn Royal Scots including 2/9th and 3/9th, attached etc.
2. The left hand column of the list contains an alphabetical list of surnames and
information. The right hand column provides a reference, listed below under
“Sources,” or “-” where a direct weblink or source is provided in the main text box
3. Names therefore often appear more than once, from different sources. These may not
always be grouped together, for example where the surname is followed by either
initials or a full forename the same man may appear on different pages. Different
spellings are also evident, some surnames are quoted single- or double-barrelled, such
as Haddon or Ross Haddon, and with and without a hyphen, like Henderson
Hamilton. Other variations can be found with names such as McEwen and MacEwen,
or de Berry. To find a piece of text, press Ctrl and F to open a search box
4. Some of the original hand written text or print is not clear so errors may have been
introduced by eye or by scanning to text, in all instances the reader is directed to the
original and to the image rather than the scanned text version
5. Speculative connections are preceded by “?”

May 1915. Some on the centreline are obscured. These can be seen in
the Edinburgh Evening Dispatch, 29/5/15. There are 43 names and 44
images, so the front row have not had thumbnail images attached. It
might be assumed Sergeant-Major Steven is seated in the middle,
meaning the lad on the left is unknown.

Re. Lt WJ Potts: ‘At around noon on the 14th of March 1917 he was flying a
Bristol Scout in misty conditions at a height of 1,200 feet when he collided with a
BE2c flown by 2nd Lieutenant Rayne, who was under instruction by Lieutenant
MacKay. The training aircraft crashed on a hard tennis court nearby killing both
men. Potts was seriously injured and was in hospital when the squadron flew to
France the following month.’ King’s School Canterbury

George Stevenson Raine
Lieutenant Edward Reeves Mackey and 2nd Lieutenant George Stevenson Raine
from 56 Reserve Squadron were flying BE2e (7069) when they were involved in a
mid-air collision with a Bristol Scout flown by Lieutenant William Janson Potts at
around 800ft. The BE2e immediately nose-dived and crashed into the ground

killing both Mackey and Raine. Potts managed to right his aircraft twice before
eventually crashing into a tree. He was injured but survived.

-
His army service records (FMP, regimental numbers 4076 and 351445) record that
he had 8 years previous service in the 3rd Volunteer Battalion, Seaforth
Highlanders. It is also recorded that he was promoted/appointed Sergeant-Piper of
the 1/9th Royal Scots on 15th April 1917. (also mention that between October and
November 1916 he had been hospitalised for laryngitis)
His home address is recorded as Huntly Lane, Fochabers (on another page
recorded as Huntly Street, Fochabers).
I did find him in the 1891 and 1901 census, along with the names of his parents
and siblings. They both record him born in Dyke about 1883, however Scotland's
People just records one male called William Reid born in Dyke around that time,
and it was in 1882.
? The 19th August 1921 edition of the Press & Journal reports on the unveiling
of a war memorial at Milne's Institution in Fochabers for the Former Pupils who
had given their lives. There is mention that the Flower's O' The Forest was played
by Pipe-Major William Reid. [Fochabers connection so possible]

[Midlothian Journal 18 May 1917]: We also regret to announce the death of
Private Wm. Richardson, Royal Scots, and much sympathy is extended to Mr and
Mrs Alex. Richardson, Springfield Place, and family. Private Richardson was a
promising young man, and his loss is very much deplored. He was a grocer to
trade, and before joining the Army was employed by the Co-operative Store.
[Midlothian Journal 25 May 1917]: News has just been received by Mr and Mrs
Alex Richardson, Springfield Place, Roslin, of the death of their son, Corporal -

William P. Richardson, somewhere on the great battlefield of Arras. He was in the

machine gun section of the Royal Scots. A great grandson of George Richardson,
late of the old 94th Scots Brigade, the lives of the two soldiers form a strange
contrast. Although 100 years divided them they both fought for the same cause, to
preserve the freedom and liberties of
Europe from a military tyrant. The Peninsular War was part of the great struggle
then waged to put down the French military domination of Europe and the present
war is to put down the military domination of Germany. In the Peninsular War
George Harrison was with the Scots Brigade in the advance to Madrid and in the
subsequent retreat to Corunna. He was present at the Battle of Corunna and the
burial of Sir John Moore. Returning again to the Peninsula under Lord Wellington,
he was present at most of the great battles down to Toulouse. He was afterwards
discharged with a wound in his leg, but notwithstanding his early hardships he
lived to the advanced age of 94. In the present war his great grandson has played a
no less worthy part. In the early stages of war William joined up, and when he
crossed the Channel he was put in the machine gun section of his battalion and
from that time onward he led a hard, busy life. In the great battles of the Somme
last year he had many hairbreadth escapes and was present at the assault and
capture of Beaumont Hamel. In the fighting leading up to the great opening battle
of Arras he had twice his dugout blown in on him, and at another time his billet
was burned down. He gave his life in the service of his country on 23rd April,
aged 27, and was the last of the draft who joined the battalion with him. He was
also a grandson of Sergeant William Purves, Dalkeith, who was thirty years
connected with the Volunteer movement and retired with the Long Service Medal.

Rigby (nee Gordon). Memorials: Bonnyrigg; Cockpen Parish Church; Lasswade

served in the war.
[Dalkeith Advertiser 31 January 1918]: Mr and Mrs Rigby, 6 Salter Place,
Bonnyrigg, have been notified that their youngest son, James Gordon Rigby,
Royal Scots, who was previously reported missing on 23rd April 1917, is now
presumed to have been killed in action on that date. Previous to enlistment he was
employed as a grocer by the Dalkeith Co-operative Society. He was a lad of bright
and cheerful disposition and was respected by all who came in contact with him.
He enlisted when he attained the age of 18 in the Royal Naval Division, and was
latterly transferred to the Royal Scots. Mr and Mrs Rigby's eldest and only
surviving son is at present fighting in Mesopotamia. The sympathy of the
community goes out to the parents in their sad bereavement.

James Roberston, studio portrait

‘James Robertson (1893-1948) took over the bagpipe making business of John and
James Center in Grove Street, Edinburgh, when they emigrated to Australia in
1908. As bagpipe maker he made Highland bagpipes and, in the 1920s, began to
make Northumbrian Half-long pipes in collaboration with William Cocks of
Ryton-on-Tyne. The business closed in 1964.’
NMS link provided by Ron Abbott ‘purported to be of him in civilian highland
dress’
‘He actually became a renowned bagpipe maker taking over the business from his
father, located at 58 and then at 64 Grove Street in Edinburgh. -

His bagpipes are still sought after today. They were of a heavier design than most
with very large projecting mounts, and they are renowned for producing a quality
sound.
He also subsequently became a Pipe-Major (Sergeant-Piper) in the Royal Scots,
first with the 1/4th Bn. Royal Scots (apparently from 1916 until 1919) and then
between 1919 (?) and 1925 was Pipe-Major of the 4/5th Bn. Royal Scots.
If you search the newspaper archives you will find mention of him as Pipe-Major
of the 4/5th and also find adverts pertaining to his bagpipe company.
(But beware; there are some bagpipe relate websites which purport he was Scots
Guards. He wasn't....that was another man of the same name who was around at a
similar time ! 100% definitely different men who sometimes get confused)
His name was James Robertson, born at Milhall Cottages, Penicuik on 22nd June
1892. He died in Edinburgh on 25th January 1948 at which time his residential
address was recorded as 21 Orchard Road South, Edinburgh. The records of
birth/death provide his father's name as James Robertson and mother as Isabella
Flockhart Martin. His wife/widow was called Jane Robertson Muir. They were
married in Edinburgh in 1921.
I also uncovered a newspaper article which may or may not relate to him. The 4th
Dec 1944 edition of The Scotsman contains an article about a march past in
Edinburgh of the massed bands of the Home Guard and the pipes and drums were
under "Pipe-Major J Robertson". There were at least three men called J
Robertson who had been army pipe-majors in WW1/1920s/1930s.....so it may or
may not be him.’
Book of bagpipe music property of Robertson enscribed ‘Corporal Jas.
Robertson, 1/9 -15 Royal Scots, BEF France, Bound in France, October 14th
1918. This may be 1/9th Royal Scots – 15th Division’
In the 1920s he was certainly in the 4/5th Royal Scots and the adverts for his
business state that he was Pipe-Major of the 1/4th Royal Scots.
Marriage record in 1921 only records that he is a bagpipe maker with residence at
38 Polwarth Crescent.
Birth cert 23.6.1892, Milkhall Cottages, Penicuik to James Robertson, music
teacher, pipe major, and Isabella Robertson
Marriage cert 8.7.1921 James Robertson (29), bagpipe maker of 38 Polwarth Cres,
Edin, to ?Jane R. Muir (25) of 1 Middleby St, Edin., daughter of Richard Muir,
University Pathological Demonstrator
Death cert 25.1.1948 age 54, bagpipe manufacturer, married to Jane Robertson
Muir, 21 Orchard Rd South, Edin. Carcinoma of the lung. Witnessed brother at 38
Polwarth Cres. Motehr Isabella.

Stewart Melville
RAF Prisoner of War in Germany
‘”not out” yet, and we hope see them on Stewart’s field as of old.’
Reported a prisoner exactly a month after his disappearance. He has had peculiarly
hard luck. The flight from which he failed to return was intended to be his last
previous to coming home to be trained as a pilot. If we must commiserate him on
his temporary loss of freedom we have to congratulate him on gaining the Military
Cross.

b.1890 at Dunbar, the elder son of Reuben M Rogers, a Customs and Excise
Supervisor, and Harriet Rogers, of 5 Balfour Street, Alloa.
On 23 April 1915, the Alloa Advertiser reported: How Sergeant R K Rogers was
Wounded
A letter has been received by Mr R. M. Rogers, 5 Balfour Street, Alloa, describing
how his eldest son, Sergeant R. K. Rogers, 9th Royal Scots Highlanders, was
wounded on 7th April, along with another Sergeant of D Coy., he was called out of
his billet to accompany the Captain and two Lieutenants on an inspection of
trenches, prior to leading in the platoons. That was shortly before the billets were
shelled by the Germans, resulting in nine of his comrades being killed and about
fifty wounded.
The trench was an uncompleted one, taken over from our allies, and another
company was busy strengthening it. A bullet came right through the parapet and
struck Sergeant Rogers on the left side of the nape of the neck, passed clean through
just under the skin, and emerged on the right side. Fortunately he stooped slightly
at the moment over a tea "dixie" and he also attributes his miraculous escape to the
fact that he had his Balaclava helmet rolled in several folds inside his greatcoat
collar. This doubtless helped to deflect the bullet, which passed through greatcoat
and tunic collars and several folds of wool before reaching the neck. The shock
blinded him and caused deafness to the right ear. He was made comfortable in a
"dugout" until nightfall, when he was taken to the rear, and sent to Boulogne. He is
now out of hospital and in the convalescent camp. He recovered his sight after three
days, and the deafness is disappearing. He expresses satisfaction that he "bagged
two that morning" before they got him.

A very pleasing incident took place in the Kerry Protestant Hall last evening, when
a small presentation was made by a few of his friends here to Bandmaster John P.
Ross of the Royal Scots on his leaving Tralee.
… services rendered at many concerts since his advent here… presented with a
baton. Ross replied:

‘The Royal scots were all heartily sorry to leave Tralee, but they hoped to be sent
back again. They had been fairly treated in Scotch towns and they had been fairly
treated in English towns, but their warm-hearted reception in Tralee won all their
hearts, and would be a life-long memory to the Scots.’

James Roy, was killed on the 23rd April 1917, whilst serving with the 1/5th
Cameronians. Their Roll of Honour has him as formerly in the Royal Scots with
the number 4358. James was one of two brothers killed at Arras; the other Robert
was in the Cameron Highlanders. They lived in Montgomery Street and between
1912 and 1915 James played for Everton as a reserve. He left the side in May
1915 and our best guess is that he joined up in December 1915.

Everton 1914-15 Penicuik 1910-11

December 1913 Edinburgh to Liverpool to sign for Everton
James Roy was born in 1889 in South Leith, Edinburgh to George and Jane Roy.
James was the eldest of four sons and he had one elder and two younger sisters.
When the 1891 census was taken two year old James and his family were living at
10 Elgin Street, between Calton Hill at the end of Princes Street and what is now
Hibernian's Easter Road Ground. Ten years on the family had moved across the
road to number 11, and by 1911 they were living above the shops of Easter Road
at number 24. James, by this time 22, was working as a railwayman and his father
as a postman.
Aside from the day job James was making a name for himself as a left-half in local
non-league football, and in the 1910-11 season he captained Penicuik Athletic to
the East of Scotland Junior Cup. Penicuick was a small town south of Edinburgh
on the Lothian coalfield; it would become the home of Everton's legendary hero
Alex Young after he finished playing. James' performances resulted in a move to
nearby Broxburn the following year and within months he had come to the
attention of Everton. At a board meeting on 3rd December 1913 two directors
were deputed to travel north to arrange a transfer the following Saturday. In the
days before widespread telephone use it was difficult to communicate back to
Liverpool and the directors were allowed to decide on the terms on the spot; “with
powers” is the phrase used in the board minutes. The fee agreed was £60 rising to
£85 if he was retained for the following season and James would be paid a £10
bonus and £3 a week. The same board minutes record his selection for a junior
team to play Prescot Wire Works, and two weeks later he made his debut for the
reserves on Christmas Day at Goodison against Manchester United.

In April 1917 he is likely to have fought in the Hindenburg line south of Arras and
was probably mortally wounded attacking along the forward trench in the Tunnel
trench section on 23rd April as his battalion attempted to reach a group of Suffolks
cut off by the Germans.

‘The Germans had learned much about the Derby Scheme through documents
found on Private Thomas Rutherford of 1/9 Royal Scots, captured on 5 January
1916. Rutherford’s father was a Derby commissioner, and his letters, a bundle of
which the prisoner was carrying when captured, explained the system, how men
were ‘persuaded’ to enrol, and more. As an extra bonus, Rutherford was also
carrying the complete paper trail of a failed attempt to gain a commission.’

CWGC website shows that Burnett Sandison was the son of Lewis Grant Sandison
and Isabella Burnett Sandison of 18 Balmoral Place, Edinburgh. The 1901 Census
shows him aged 3 years living with his parents at 1 Rintoul Place, Edinburgh.
Both of these addresses are in the Stockbridge ‘Colonies’. His father was a
compositor.
He served in the 1st/9th Royal Scots and died of wounds on 15/04/1917. He is
buried in Etaples Military Cemetery in France. Burnett Sandison is also
commemorated on the War Memorial at Broughton High School.
The Edinburgh Evening Dispatch reported his death on 23rd April 1917 but there
was no indication of any connection with Granton. The report did, however,
include the additional information that:-
• He was the third son of Mr & Mrs L G Sandison (no address given)
• Before enlisting he had been an apprentice with Messrs Baildon, Chemists,
Edinburgh (this firm had premises on Princes Street)
• An elder brother had returned from the United States to join the Royal Scots
and had also died of wounds.
The Granton War Memorial does not include the name of the elder brother
(probably he had never lived in Granton) but he can be identified as John Sandison
who served in the 10th Battalion Royal Scots and who died of wounds on 23rd
June 1915 [continues].

of Ypres, he would be puzzled about God.’ ‘A sergeant in a base camp some time
ago was returning to his unit after being wounded twice. He was, as we have it in
Scotland, “fey.” A presentiment was upon him that he would not come back; and
to all optimistic prophecies he turned a deaf ear. “But,” he said, “I don’t mind. It’s
going to be a better world for the kiddies afterwards.” What is this but religion in a

The editors put Scott as Pte Robert James Scott, Pte No.2510 and insert ‘[Scott]’
after ‘Jock’ in the above entry. However it seems likely Scott 2510 was fatally

Walter Brown Scott, Pte, RS, was killed in action 18th May 1916. He was the son
of the late Rev John Scott MA, Gillespie Church, Biggar, and of Mrs Scott, 32
Pilrig St, Edinburgh. He received his early education at Biggar High School and in
1907 he came to Danield Stewart’s College which he left in 1913. On leaving
school he entered the office of Messrs Boyd, Jamieson & Young, WS, Leith,
where he was employed until April 1915 when he joined 9RS with whom he was
drafted to France in November.
How he was regarded by his comrades in France may be seen from the following
excerpt froma letter received by his mother from his Platoon Officer, Lt James R
Black: “Your son was in my Platoon since he joined us, and he was always a
cheeful and willing worker. His pasing will be felt by his comrades in no small
measure, as he was a universal favourite.”

Scott, William 2/Lt. Links soldier dies of wounds
Mrs Scott, 73 Pratt St, Kirkcaldy has news elder grandson died of wounds in
France 8th Oct. Comm in May this year. Seven years with Messrs Swan, Mackie &
Co drapers, High St, at outbreak he was one of the leading salesmen in Messrs
Jenners, Edinburgh. He joined 9RS as Pte in Sept 14, two years at the front.
Promoted Sergt. Invalided home with trench fever. Returning to France
recommended for a comm, trained at Gailys and gazetted May as 2/Lt South
Wales Borderers attd 13th Welsh Regiment. The chaplain: ‘I saw your grandson
just a few minutes after he was wounded. He was being carried from the
battlefield by the company stretcher bearers, and I had a short talk with him and he
seemed most cheerful nad was smoking a cigarette. He had his leg badly damaged,
but I never dreamt he would other than get over it, still according to the report he
must have died that evening. We mourn the loss of such a gallant officer. He led
his company more than half way to the objective, and he was most unfortunate in
being knocked out just before a great victory came our way… During the short
time your grandson was with us we had learnt to love him as he was one of the
most genial of fellows’ ?Williams. C.F.

NZ Family history by Yvonne Wilkie, centred on Molly Whitelaw, sister of JAS,
with excellent information on JAS.
Studying philosophy when war broke out.
‘John Alastair Shannon of the Highland Light Regiment. Having been captured in
the December 1915, he had been reported missing. The Shannon’s much wished-
for news that Alastair, their son and brother, was alive in a POW Camp in
Anatolia was confirmed in July 1916. References in Molly Whitelaw’s papers
indicate Alastair was part of the ‘Death March’ that crossed 1900 kms of Syrian
Desert where thousands died of ‘dysentery, beri-beri, scurvy, malaria, enteritis’
and exhaustion. Of the 2,500 white British prisoners who set out on the march,
only 856 survived. Shannon spent the rest of the war in Anatolia, quite possibly at
Afion Karahissar, with at least 100 British Officers. He was repatriated in
December 1918.’

Sergeant Alfred Ernest Shaw, 9th Royal Scots. 31 Broughton Place, Edinburgh,
was the fifth son of William Shaw, plumber, and of his wife Jessie Dorward, 48
Fergus Square. Arbroath. He was twenty-four years of age and was a Highland
ornament-maker and jeweller in the employment of Messrs Mackay &
Chisholm, Princes Street, Edinburgh. Being a Territorial, he was mobilised
on the outbreak of war, and went to France in February 1915 with the 9th
Royal Scots, "the Dandy Ninth." He saw a great deal of hard fighting, his
battalion, owing to the extraordinary pressure of the enemy, having at one time
occupied the same trenches for thirty-one days. A year later he was invalided
home suffering from myalgia, and on his return to France, after being employed
for some time as a hut-builder he was promoted to the rank of sergeant.
He again took part in many engagements, and was made platoon sergeant, and it
was while leading his platoon in an attack on the enemy trenches that he was
killed on the 20th of September 1917.

Shaw, James, Corporal. -
(Walkerburn) 1917. September 23.
News was received by his sister, Miss Mary Shaw, Tweed View, Walkerburn, of
the death of her brother, Corporal James Shaw, Royal Scots. He was wounded in
the left leg by shrapnel on 23rd September, and lived only a few hours after
admission to hospital. Corporal Shaw joined up on the day of mobilisation, having
done seven years' service in the Volunteer and Territorial Force. He did not go out
to France in 1914 with the 8th Royal Scots, but he went out in July, 1915, coming
home at the end of the year on special leave owing to bereavement. In 1916,
Corporal Shaw was drafted to the 9th Royal Scots, with whom he spent some
months, seeing some severe fighting at Beaumont, Hamel, and other places. He
was home again at the beginning of 1917 for four weeks being time expired, but
before he went out again he spent 3 months in hospital in Edinburgh. Going to
France again in July, he was dangerously wounded on 22nd September and died
the following day after having a leg amputated. Before war broke out, Cpl. Shaw
was employed in the yarn department of Tweedvale Mills (Messrs Henry
Ballantyne & Sons, Limited). He was a prominent member of Walkerburn Rugby
Club, being a three-quarter of no mean order, being possessed of a rare turn of
speed.

The Scotsman 21 Mar 27
The windows are now in Craigmiller Park Church which combined with Mayfield
South Church a few years ago. The father was an Elder of the church. When the
church was established there were three Elders - one died - and Mr SMALL took
over. He was invested in choral works. He lived in Granby Road and his brother
lived in Glenorchy Terrace. There are a series of windows - one each for the sons
who were KIA representing Stephen and the other a Centurion - plus ones for
parents and uncle.

Smith, David T., Pte -
(Stobo) Royal Scots. 1918. August 2 (Friday).
Died of wounds on 2nd August, 1918, Pte. David Telfer Smith, aged 31 years.
Royal Scots, beloved husband of Annie Pyper, and youngest son of William
Smith, Newhouses, Stobo, Peeblesshire.
David Telfer Smith was born at Skirling, on 4th Sept., 1887. He received all his
education at Stobo School. Entering the employment of the Caledonian Railway
Company he served at Carmyle, Scotston West, Glasgow Central, and Greenock.

Thereafter he joined the Caledonian Steam, Packet Co., Ltd., and was in their
office at Gourock when the war called him to the Army. He joined the Royal Scots
Fusiliers on 3rd July, 1916, and transferred to the 9th Royal Scots. He was
severely wounded in France, and had to spend about a year in this country before
he was able to return to the front. Then he was in active service for eight months
until, on 2nd August, 1918, he was badly hit by machine-gun fire, and expired on
the way to the dressing station. He was buried in the British Military Cemetery at
Senlis.
He was of exceptionally gentle and kindly disposition, a great favourite with all
who knew him. He was married to Miss Ann Pyper, by whom and a little
daughter, Betty, three years old, he is survived. A beautifully illuminated address
with portrait has been presented to Mrs Smith by the Steam Packet Company,
paying tribute to her husband's worth as a man and valour as a soldier. The deepest
sympathy is felt for her and her child as well as with David's father (Mr William
Smith, Newhouses, Stobo), brother and sisters.
In Honour of David Telfer Smith, who gave his life in his country's cause in the
Great European War, the Directors, Manager and Staff of the Caledonian Steam
Packet Co., Ltd., desire to place on record the following facts: —
"Mr Smith, who was a clerk in the office at Gourock, had a successful career in
the Company. After two years' devotion on active service he died of gunshot
wounds at a Casualty Clearing Station in France, on 2nd August, 1918.
The Staff are proud to have been associated with this gallant man in the peaceful
occupation of former times, and in order that his devotion may not be forgotten
and that his heroism may remain a shining example to after years, his name has
been inscribed upon the Company's Roll of Honour.
When the Great War shall have come to an end and men look back upon the cause
for which Britain fought, it will be seen ever more vividly and gratefully that those
who have shown themselves thus loyal unto death have assuredly not given their
lives in vain." God Save the King.

Ivan was born in 1881 in Scotland to James, a Brewers Clerk, and Lucy. The 1891
census shows Ivan was a 10 year old scholar living in the family home at Fairfield,
Warrington. By 1901 his father was a Brewery Manager, Ivan was a brewer, and
his brother Graham was 14. In the last quarter of 1905 Ivan was married in
Warrington.
Unfortunately, no record of Ivan has been found in The Tech registers. The
cemetery in which he is buried served the many hospitals that were based in
Rouen. Researched by Neil Shuttleworth and Prof. Hankins.

The first Sgt-Maj of Reserve Bn was Colour-Sgt A.D Stephen, joined from
National Reserve. Previously 1st Gordons and Sgt Maj in 1/9th RS. Held post until
formation of 3/9th at Peebles, replaced by T. Low.
-
‘When with the 2/9th we obtained much hard training under our excellent R.S.M. –
Stephens who had fought with the Gordons at Dargai and in South Africa.’
Marching and shooting his subjects, encouraging to the young, ruled the srgts
mess with an iron rod – no swearing, high standards, little drinking.
? Seems likely RWFJ also means Stephen with ‘The RSM was a former Gordon
Highlander who spoke of Dargai, the Frontier and the Boer war.’ He recalled
Modder River. DCM and LSM. A strict disciplinarian who ensured they were well
spaced between men and between waves for skirmishing. ? RWFJ also relates an
instructor tearing a strip of recruits at 1912 camp for missing their targets, and
referring to the poor shooting at Modder River. This could again be Stephen.

Stoller transferred to MGC(Motors) in October 1916 he appears to have been sent
to 6th Armoured Car Brigade and posted to 1st Light Armoured Car Battery. His
posting is signed by "OC Hejaz Armoured Cars". This means he was with Lawrence
of Arabia! Cross checking he appears in the nominal roll in Seven Pillars as E
Stoller. So he was in the Rolls Royce cars rather than the light cars, and his service
record notes he was MG qualified.

SUMNER, T. Corpl. No. 2731. 6/8/16 , Died of Wounds, The Leather Sporran, -
SUMNER, T. Corporal, died of wounds in August, 1916. His Company -
Commander wrote of him that ‘he was one of the best junior N.C.O.’s in C
Company, and his excellent work had brought him before the notice of the
Company Officers. Personally I had more opportunities than some of the others in
seeing him, and it was a great pleasure to me to be able, from information
received, to include his amongst the six names in the Company which I brought
before the Colonel’s notice for special work done during an attack by the
Company. He was recommended by me on that occasion ‘for excellent general
work and assistance’ given to his Platoon Commander. After the latter was

wounded close to the German trench, Lance-Corporal Sumner brought him in.’

Taylor, Alexander Capt 21.4.17 1872-1917 Father: manufacturer

Law firm: Robertson, Low, Robertson & Cross (Glasgow)

Admitted to Faculty Nov 1896
Educ. Glasgow Academy, Glasgow University
Many of the men on these pages were killed in action after only a few weeks or
even days at the front, but Taylor endured lengthy service and saw action in some
of the worst battles of the Great War.
Born in Barnmills, Carrickfergus, Ireland, in 1872, his parents moved the family to
Glasgow when he was young, and he was educated at Glasgow Academy and
Glasgow University. His father was a manufacturer, although of what is not
known. He graduated with honours in Classics, before taking his law degree, and
carried out his training at Messrs Robertson, Low, Robertson and Cross. He was
admitted to the Faculty in 1896.
According to the Scots Law Times he never acquired a large practice despite
appearing in several important cases. He contributed many articles to the law
journals of the time, and reported on Justiciary cases. He acted as interim Sheriff-
Substitute in Banff, Stornoway, Aberdeen and Glasgow; and in 1911 he was
appointed Sheriff-Substitute at Forfar where he proved most efficient, and his
judgements were always apparently cogent and well-reasoned, and only rarely
appealed.
He married Rhoda McIntyre at Bridgend House, Callander in March 1905; her
father was a fancy dress manufacturer from Glasgow and Taylor‟s address at that
time was given as 1 Albyn Place, Edinburgh.
In 1900 9th Battalion (Highlanders) The Royal Scots was formed to meet a widely
held desire that the capital of Scotland should have a Highland unit, just as
London and Liverpool boasted kilted regiments in the London and Liverpool
Scottish. It was raised as a battalion of the Queen's Rifle Volunteer Brigade, but
with distinctions of its own, notably the kilt, which has earned for it the nickname
of “The Dandy Ninth.” It sent forty-five men to South Africa. Taylor was
commissioned in this battalion on 3rd November 1900, along with fellow
Advocate James Ferguson, Senior. He resigned in 1902, but rejoined in 1905; in
1912 he was moved to the reserve list after being made Sheriff in Forfar. On 4th
August 1914 he was mobilised as a reservist, and as a Captain took command of
“A” Company. 9th Royal Scots were based at 89 East Claremont Street,
Edinburgh.
He landed with his battalion at Le Havre on 26th February 1915, and fought
initially with 81st Brigade of the 27th Division, later with the 154th Brigade of the
51st (Highland) Division. He fought at the 2nd Battle of Ypres (with Walter Lyon)
and was severely wounded at St Julien, one of the actions during the battle, on
23rd April 1915. After almost a year‟s recuperation, he returned to his battalion on
1st March 1916, and survived the Somme offensive, when his battalion suffered
huge losses. He was killed at the Battle of Arras on 27th April 1917 when leading
his Company in the fighting for the Scarpe Valley.

The Scots Law Times mentioned his kindly nature, and genial humour, which
made him a great favourite.
The Royal Scots' official history states that the battalion took over trenches near
Fampoux on the 15th April. On the 21st, "A" Company succeeded in forcing a
passage along a trench in front of Mount Pleasant Wood, and after ejecting the
Germans, established a post there. This should have been enough, but the Company
then went on to Roeux Wood, where it was sadly cut up by the enemy riflemen and
machine gunners, and was forced back to its starting point. In this unlucky action,
Captain Taylor was killed.
Taylor was buried at Level Crossing Cemetery, Fampoux. Beside him lie another
51 officers and men of 9th Royal Scots, almost all of whom were killed in the same
week as Taylor.

Thomson, John M., Pte
1917—May 3. MRS JOHN THOMSON, 22a Biggiesknowe, Peebles, received
official intimation from the Infantry Record Office, Hamilton, informing her
that the Army Council had been constrained to conclude that her husband, Private
JOHN M. THOMSON, Royal Scots, who had been previously reported as missing
in France since 3rd May 1917, was dead, and that his death took place on that
date, as they had received no further information concerning him.
The deceased, who was 36 years of age, previous to enlisting in the “Dandy
Ninth” (Royal Scots) while they were encamped at Peebles during August 1915
was employed as a powerloom tuner in Damdale Mill, Peebles, and went out to
France in September 1916. He was survived by his wife and three young
children—two boys and a girl—whose ages at the time of their father's death were
9, 6, and 4 respectively. Private Thomson, who was the third son of Mr and
Mrs R. Thomson, 23 Biggiesknowe, had four brothers serving with the Colours,
one of whom—Private Alex. M. Thomson, Royal Scots — was also reported
missing a few days previous to the deceased being reported missing. A
communication, however, was received from Private Alexander Thomson, stating
that he was a prisoner of war in Germany.
"Our reports show that on 3rd May 1917 the 12th Royal Scots took part in the
fighting near Gavrelle, on the Arras front. They made a night attack, or as some
call it, ' a bombing raid,' to relieve two other Battalions which were 'in a tight
place' near the Chemical Works at Roeux. The hour of starting was 9 P.M., and the
enemy artillery was very active. Shells were dropping all round, and this made it
practically impossible for the 12th Royal Scots to advance far enough to be of

assistance to the other regiments. They must have been almost in touch with the
enemy at one time, for one man speaks of 'the Germans being nearly on us, and it
was difficult to get help to the wounded.' One company got held up in No Man's
Land, and remained in a shell-hole for many hours. When the order to retire came
they crawled out, and some of them succeeded in getting back to their own lines.
This was 3.30 A.M., and it is said that during the action wounded men crawled
back. The ground was lost, but patrols went out over and over again on successive
nights to try and find wounded officers and men. Shell-fire must have accounted
for many of the wounded. The ground is said to have been taken by another
regiment some time afterwards."

Enlisted Armadale, Linlithgowshire

Son of Mrs. Todd North Street Armadale.
Mrs. Todd received the following letter from Lt J N Cowan:
“6th Jun. It is with the greatest regret that I have to inform you of the death of your
son, Pte Todd. He was of the very best soldiers of our Company, and one we could
ill spare. He was well liked by all, and when I say that I include myself as his
Officer, for I saw and appreciated his qualities, his cheerful courage in the face of
danger, and uncomplaining performance of his duties. In the comparatively short
time he had been with the Battalion he had established a record of good work,
courage and reliability in battle. He was killed on May 25th by a shell while on
Sniping duty. His death was instantaneous and painless. He was buried in a British
soldier’s cemetery beside other brave men, and the place where he lies is
registered. You have my sincere sympathy in your sorrow.”
Joseph joined the 7th Royal Scots in early 1915, and survived the Gretna Rail
Crash, and he went on to serve in the Dardanelles 12th June 1915, from there he
then served in France.
Whilst he was in the Dardanelles he was wounded at Gallipoli, and another
Armadale lad wrote to his mother wrongly to tell her that Joseph had been killed,
luckily his mother received a post card shortly after informing her that he was
doing well.
Prior to enlisting Joseph was a fish hawker and salesman.

[Dalkeith Advertiser 9 January 1919]: It is now intimated that Private Robert
Todd, Royal Scots (Highlanders), is officially declared killed. Private Todd was
posted amongst the missing last spring and now the anxious wait of his relatives
has been ended by the announcement of his death. A son of the late Mr Todd, for
long grieve at Arniston Mains and latterly at Rosebery Home Farm, he was a
signalman in the N.B. Railway service previous to enlistment. He was brother-in-
law to Mr James Learmonth, Clayhouse. A quiet-going genial lad, he had a host of
friends in the locality who all mourn his loss, a great part of their sympathy going
out to his widow, who resides in Edinburgh. He was married immediately before
going on active service.
Private Robert Todd, 9th Royal Scots, born at Peebles in 1887, was the youngest
son of Robert Chalmers Todd, a Ploughman, and Agnes [Kerr] Todd.
His siblings were Richard, John, Margaret, Jessie, Agnes and Elizabeth.
Before enlisting at South Queensferry, he was employed as a Railway Signaller
and resided at Wester Dalmeny then 19 Montpelier Park, Edinburgh. He was -

married to Mary Murray Todd, who resided at 22 Lennox Street, Edinburgh, after
the war. He was killed in action on 22 March 1918, age 33, and is buried in
Marteville Communal Cemetery, Attilly, Aisne, France.

? There is a P. Tomoney Sco Rif awarded DCM 26.5.17 – seems unlikely
? There is a Patrick Tomoney Lab Corps Pte 123411 MIC (Medal roll adds nothing)
– possible?
? There is a Patrick Tomony KOSB Pte 7377, Lab C 699696 with 15Star (yet 1914
date of entry?) and SWB (enlisted 26.8.14) (Medal Roll shows KOSB, RASC, LC)

Looking for his 4-digit number we find these ‘neighbours’:

McKellan 4587; Muirhead 351632 / 4589; Peacock 351633 / 4591; Mochic 351635
/ 4593. We might speculate this man is 4588 but this is Doughty. However 4585 (a
little way off) would bring us to the man in the enlistment book.

L/Cpl William Tully
On day of marriage as L/Cpl 9RS Jan 1918

‘On his marriage certificate of Jan 1918 he is described as a L/Cpl 9th Royal Scots.
He was wounded four times as you can see. Family info says that he was once posted
missing and once buried by a shell. I know from my childhood that he had been
wounded in the knee as he suffered with cramp very badly. He died when I was 9
years old.’
‘From the Dundee People's Journal I found out that my grandfather's wound at Arras
was the second of his four so, since his wedding picture was taken in January 1918,

that means he must have collected two more in quite a short time, possibly one at
Passchendaele.’
Wounded, Casualty Return for 24 Dec 17
A W. Tully of Dundee was in the casualty list for 2 June 1916 - no. 18519 – this
would have been his first wound.
Courtesy of granddaughter Irene Moore
352352 William Tully b. 14/11/1894 In Dysart, Fife. Lived in Dundee and enlisted
in Edinburgh. Entered theatre of war August 1915 with 13th Royal Scots, but later
served with the 9th RS. Four wound stripes, survived GWF
As a small child I recall being frightened to see him in agony when his knee gave
way on the stairs, the result of one of those wounds. When my mother asked him
about his medals he told her they were awarded for keeping his kilt clean in the
trenches.

Aitchison), Husband of Margaret Aitchison Turnbull. [MIDLOTHIAN JOURNAL
30 November 1917]: Mr Henry Turnbull, Pike, Penicuik, has received official
intimation that his son, Private John Turnbull,
Royal Scots, who has been reported missing since 23rd July last year, is now
reported to have been killed on that date. As far as can be ascertained from private
enquiries it appears that on the date mentioned Private Turnbull was wounded in
the leg, and took shelter in a shell hole where a shell was seen to burst later, and it
is presumed that he was then killed. Private Turnbull, who was 26 years of age,
was previously a farm servant at Auchendinny Mains.

2/Lt (now Capt) has received the DSO for conspicuous gallantry. By a combined
bombing operation with another platoon he cut off and captured 63 of the enemy.
Two days later he did gallant work in an attack and afterwards returned under close
machine gun fire and rescued wounded men. On the outbreak of war, Capt Turner
of Edinburgh, who had been a private in 9RS, at once rejoined his old regiment, and
afterwards got his commission. Capt Turner was in the seed trade, and at the time
he rejoined was with Messrs Laird, Dickson and Sons Ltd, Edinburgh.

PATRIOTIC LEITH FAMILY
Major Robertson, V.C,, speaking at a recruiting meeting in Leith, announced that
it had been brought to his knowledge that a man present in the crowd had four
sons, two sons-in-law, a nephew, and a niece in the King's service. This, he
thought, was a most creditable record for one family, tho more so since the father
of the four sons held the Long Service Medal for twenty-two years' service in the
Volunteers. The father, Mr John Valentine, resides at 23 Buchanan Street, Leith.
His sons, Corporal John Valentine, Lance-Corporal George Valentine, and Private
Cecil Valentine, are in the 9th Battalion Royal Scots. His fourth son, Gunner
Harry Valentine, is in the Forth R.G.A. George and Cecil are both in France with
their regiment. George was wounded in the trenches on the 4th inst., and is now
reported to be in hospital at Boulogne. One son-in-law is with the British Naval
Air Squadron in the North of France; the other is mine-sweeping off the Southern
Coast. The nephew is in the 3rd H.L.I., and is now in hospital at Currie invalided
home from France. Mr Valentine's niece is a Red Cross nurse, and is now in
Serbia.

John Norman waddie, Signaller, RS, was the elder son of Mr James S Waddie, 5
Denham Green Terrace. A boy of good abilities, he gained several scholarships
while at the College and after leaving continued his studies with a view to entering
the Civil Service. In April 1916 he joined the 9th Royal Scots and proceeded to
France in November. In 1917 he came home for further training, rejoining his
battalion in August. On 11th April of this year he was killed in one of the most
desperate battles ever fought in this war. His gallantry in action about three weeks
before his death gained him the award of the Military medal. His Colonel writes
“Your son was a fine example to his comrades, and the award of the Military
Medal was thoroughly well earned, and I am grieved that he did not live to receive
it himself.”
Signaller waddie was twenty years of age. Of a bright and kindly disposition “he
was much liked by every one in his battalion and always did his duty, whatever it
was.”

this officer to change front from the position he was holding and attack to the

advance of the enemy. His prompt action at a difficult moment was of great value.

Walker, George Butler, son of William and Ellen Louisa Foxley Walker of Bonaly -
Road, Edinburgh died on 9 April 1917. He served as a Lance Corporal with 1st/9th
Battalion The Royal Scots and was 21 years old. The Battalion was raised in
August 1914 at East Claremont Street, and was originally responsible for Scottish
coastal defences. However, by 1917, such was the demand for reinforcements that
they had been dispatched to France, and George found himself fighting as part of
51st Highland Division alongside his colleague Henry Adams in the Arras
offensive. George died on the opening day, and Henry was killed two weeks later.
George is buried at Nine Elms Cemetery, six kilometres from Arras. The cemetery
includes a large number of soldiers who fell on the same day as George, including
a row of 80 graves belonging to the men of a Canadian Infantry Battalion who
were all cut down as soon as they stepped out their trench.

202032, formerly Private 64414 2/4th Battalion
Mark was born on the 28th May 1895, the only son of John Thomas (Railway
Engine Stoker) and Emma (née Harrison) Wardle, at 3 Cross Street, Buxton.
Mark enlisted at Derby on the 21st August 1916 into the Royal Scots, after
Attesting on the 31st August, he was immediately admitted to the Army Reserve
the next day and Mobilised on the 20th October 1916. Four days later he was
posted to the 2/4th Battalion of the Royal Scots.
Mark clearly went to Ireland with the 2/4th Battalion as he spent 17 days in
Fermoy Infirmary, from the 20th August to 6th September 1917. Two months
later, however, he was back in Scotland, and back in Hospital, spending almost
three months in Edinburgh Military Hospital (15th November 1917 to 12th
February 1918). His Service Papers do not make clear when Mark transferred to
the 1/9th Battalion. -

'The Buxton Advertiser' of the 12th August 1916, stated that although Mark had
served in the Army for " … something like 18 months … " he had only been in
France about 5 weeks. It went on to say that he had been taken ill, delaying his "…
departure for the scene of hostilities, and was in hospital at Edinburgh." "Pte.
Wardle was taking part in an attack on a wood, and was killed by a machine gun
bullet. This was on the 1st August and he was buried on the same evening."

Watson, David -
‘David Watson, who fought at the Somme, Arras, Passchendaele and Ypres in
1918, has an equanimity disturbed only by one memory. In July 1916 he was with
B Company, the 9th Royal Scots, for the attack on High Wood in the battle of the
Somme.
"Of the 232 of us who went up, only 11 came back. I was the ninth of those 11.
The wood was lined with German machineguns. It took us until 9 September and
the arrival of the tanks to take it. In the meantime we were losing 1,000 men a day.
Yes, I suppose I do feel bitter about that.”’

(Innerleithen) 8th Royal Scots. 1918. March 24 (Sunday).
John Watson was the oldest son of Mr Thos. Watson, now of 1 Castle Street,
Selkirk, and was born at Innerleithen in January, 1890. He was employed at
Waverley Mills, Innerleithen, also with Lowe, Donald & Co., Peebles, and at the
time of enlisting was head warehouseman at Waverley Mills, Innerleithen. He
enlisted in the 3/8th Royal Scots on 28th February, 1916; was transferred to the
1/9th Royal Scots in December, 1916, and drafted to France. He was invalided
home with septic poisoning in April, 1917. He was drafted again to France in July,
1917, and was wounded with shrapnel in September, 1917; was acting as
stretcher- bearer in March, 1918, and was reported wounded and missing in the
engagement of 24th March, 1918, and not since reported.
On the 25th the Germans carried Bapaume in a night attack; later, their advance,
though less rapid than on the previous two days, continued on the whole front
from Ervillers (north of Bapaume) to the Oise. From the beginning of the attack
the Germans claimed 45,000 prisoners.

Watt, William. Born in Penicuik in 1895, he enlisted in 9th Battalion The Royal
Scots in 1916 and was sent to France. Gravely wounded at Arras in 1917, he lost
both hands and most of one arm. Accepting that he would have to earn a living, he
enrolled at Edinburgh College of Art. Working with a brush strapped to his
remaining forearm, he learned to paint. Later he branched out into decorating
household wares such as bowls and dishes. Became a resident of Kitchener
Crescent in Longniddry.

“William John Watt, born in Penicuik in 1895, was the younger son of William
Watt, a General Labourer, and Ann Watt of 7 Hamilton Place, Penicuik. He had four
older sisters, Jane, Ann, Wilhelmina and Alison, and a brother, James. His father
had died before the 1901 Census and his mother then went back to working as a
Confectioner. William was glad to leave school and went to work in Cowan’s Paper
Mill then at the Moat Colliery, Loanhead.
He enlisted in the 9th (Dandy Ninth) Royal Scots at Glencorse early in 1916, and
saw active service in France. Gravely wounded at the battle of Arras in 1917, he lost
both hands and most of one arm, leaving him severely disabled and was in hospital
until October 1919 before being discharged.
Knowing that opportunities for regular employment for a disabled man like him
were slim, Watt resolved to learn to paint, enrolling in classes at the Edinburgh
College of Art. Working with a brush strapped to his remaining forearm, he
achieved a modest level of competence in easel painting of watercolours and oil
paintings. It was only around 1930, that William realised that he would stand a much
better chance of earning a living by selling his work in the form of useful or
decorative household wares - as he saw others making a success of this kind of
enterprise - and he decided to transfer his skills to paint on pots, rather than paper
or canvas.
Along with other survivors of the War, he was housed in Longniddry, East Lothian,
where a colony of veterans’ homes had been established. Longniddry was,
incidentally, the village where the first of the Women’s Rural branches in Scotland,
founded in 1917, offered classes for teaching how to paint on pots; hand-painted
wares were marketed, under the enthusiastic leadership of Catherine Blair, as
‘Hamearts’, or home made craft, and sold through outlets such as stalls at
Agricultural Shows, and other events. However, according to his family, William
had not chosen to join the ladies in their classes: he was self-taught, using one or
two of the popular manuals on ceramic decoration in circulation at the time.
The photograph of Watt in his studio shows the ingenious devices by which he
overcame his handicap, in order to manipulate the brush and support the piece he
was working on. An old wind-up gramophone served as a turntable, allowing him
to reach all parts of the pot.
In these makeshift surroundings, over a period of several years till the m id-1930s,
Watt produced a substantial output of painted pots, including table-wares, vases,
ginger jars, and other items: small pieces decorated with surprisingly intricate
patterns, as well as larger items, such as ginger jars, in a broader, and simpler style.
They were displayed in a glass-fronted showcase on a post in the front garden of his
house.
Despite the trauma he experienced in the war, Watt’s sense of humour remained
intact - he marked his painted pots 'Stump'.
Watt sold his pottery to passing trade from the confectionary and newsagent’s shop
he and his family ran in the village.
He also received orders from further afield, and even from abroad - possibly helped
by one of the charities established to assist wounded veterans.

West, John George
Romanian Order of Michael the Brave, 3rd Class London Gazette 20 September
1919.
This scarce order was awarded to only nine British recipients for services during
the Great War. The 1st Class was given to Earl Haig, Lord Allenby and Admiral
Beatty, while the 3rd Class was given to six officers, Lieutenant West being the
only officer of the British Army to receive this class.
John George West was born, according to accompanying family notes, at Loch
Awe, Argyllshire, in 1893. His father died when he was 18 months old and the
family moved to Edinburgh, where he was educated at Daniel Stewart’s Merchant
Company School. He joined the 4th Royal Scots Territorials in 1909 but was
discharged on medical grounds. When war broke out he was in civil employ as
company clerk to a Major at H.Q. Yeomanry, buying horses for the army. He -

enlisted at Edinburgh into the 9th Battalion, Royal Scots, quickly rose to the rank
of Sergeant and was commissioned into the same battalion. The 9th went to France
in early 1915 but he was posted east and, attached to the 7th Battalion, Royal
Scots, served in Palestine from 31 July 1917. He ‘took part in the 3rd Battle of
Gaza and on to Tel-Aviv. Slightly wounded at Esdied, Gaza, in the advance to the
Judean Hills. Turkish machine guns, 100 yards away had the wadi covered,
received a bullet hole in his haversack and a flesh wound in his arm... Sent to
hospital in Alexandria. Got back after advance to Jerusalem. The decoration could
be associated with the crossing of the river Arja, the river was in flood, and the
Division crossed on small box-like rafts, pulled by ropes, 2 to 3 hours behind
schedule. The Transport Officer said to him “I bet you a fiver you get the M.C.”
He was recommended for it, but did not get it.’ He afterwards served in France
with the 53rd Division.
Sold with original Romanian award certificate and related War Office
correspondence; an invitation to attend a dinner for recipients of the Order at
Chateau de Gelesch, dated 8 November 1932; and a rare original copy of a
Romanian publication giving a list of the recipients of the Romanian Order of
Mihai Viteazul 1916-1920. Together with copied m.i.c., a copied photograph of
West in uniform, and other copied research.
Four: Lieutenant G. J. [?] West, Royal Scots, one of only 9 British recipients of
the Romanian Order of Michael the Brave for services in the Great War
British War and Victory Medals (Lieut. J. G. West.); Defence Medal; Romania,

Memorials: Dalkeith; Dalkeith New Cemetery; St Nicholas Buccleuch Parish
Church, Dalkeith. [Dalkeith Advertiser 10 October 1918]: The sympathy of many
friends will go out to Mrs James White, Porteous Place, who has just been
informed that her son, Pte. William White, Royal Scots, has died in hospital in
France. About two months ago Pte. White was wounded on the right side, his
injuries being of such a serious nature that little hope could be entertained of his
recovery, and he passed away on 1st October. The deceased, who was wellknown
in Dalkeith and generally esteemed, answered the call to arms in the early days of
the war. He took part in the ill-starred Gallipoli campaign, where he engaged in
much severe fighting until he was severely wounded and invalided home. About
three months ago he was drafted to the Western front. Pte. White was an
ironmonger to trade, having served his apprenticeship with Messrs Metcalfe,
Duncan &Co., Dalkeith, and for a number of years prior to his enlistment he was
an esteemed employee of Messrs Thos. Scott &Co., Ltd., Grassmarket, Edinburgh.

Brothers: Francis, born in 1891, Robert R., born in 1894 and Horace, born in
1895. Sisters: Winifred, born in 1893 and Ina, born in 1896 and working as a
domestic nurse. All the children were born in East Bridgford, but they later lived
at 4 Mafeking Street, Sneinton, Nottingham. George Wilkinson worked as a farm
labourer. Pte. Wilkinson was called up for service and following training he was
drafted to France. The battalion took part in the fighting during the Third Battle of
Ypres. They were tasked with capturing the Stroombeek and Quebec Farm which
they achieved. Unfortunately Pte. Wilkinson was killed during the operation and
his body was never recovered. However, his name was commemorated on the
Tyne Cot Memorial.

(Traquair) Royal Scots. 1916. December 1. The sad news reached Traquair that
Private Hugh Wilson, Royal Scots, had been killed in France on 1st December.
Previous to enlistment he was employed as a ploughman at Traquair Knowe. For
the last ten years he had resided with his mother in Traquair village. He was a
quiet, conscientious, and hard-working young man. He saw much serious fighting
during the nine months he was in France. From letters received it appears he was
acting as one of a bearer company, and when exposed to shell fire was hit on the
back of the head by part of a bursting shell — death being instantaneous. Much
sympathy was felt for his relatives.
The Battle of the Ancre had been raging ever since November 13. This was the
fourth phase of the Battle of the Somme. The British had captured St Pierre
Divion, south of the Ancre, and Beaumont Hamel, north of the Ancre, and 4000
prisoners. They captured next Beaucourt-sur-Anvre, and advanced east of Butte de
Warlencourt. They extended their line to the east, and advanced north and south of
the Ancre, reaching the outskirts of Grandcourt. Thereafter there was a sort of a
lull until December 11.

Pte Wilson had taken ill two days previously with bronchitis and was specially put
into the room, on the orders of Lt Col Blair, for rest and rermained in bed
throughout 11.3.16. Contracted bronchitis serving as groom for the colonel, during
the march from Pierregot – his condition at the time may have contributed to his
death. [The bn left Pierrgot 6.3.16 and arrived at Etrun 10.3.16 WD].
Pte ST Tearle gives evidence for about 8.30am ‘I looked at Wilson – his face was
swollen and he was foaming at the mouth’
Major GF Whyte RAMC received them at about 10am on 12.3.16, Pte Wilson
never regained consciousness and died about 5pm.

(Drumelzier, Tweedsmuir, Broughton) Royal Scots. 1917. May 25 (Saturday).
He was the son of Mr Benjamin Wilson, shepherd, Kingledoors. He was educated
at Tweedsmuir Public School, and was in course of training as an
engineer. In his 18th year he joined the Royal Scots, and at 20 has given himself
heroically for his country.
An anxious scholar and a dutiful son, exhibiting ideals of life not always to be
found in one as young, John Wilson was a general favourite with his fellow-
pupils, as well as with those who were his seniors; and the announcement of his
death on the field of battle evoked great regret and deep sympathy for his parents,
of whom he was their only child.
Killed in action on the 25th May, 1917, Private John Law Wilson, Royal Scots,
aged 20, only son of Benjamin and Mrs Wilson, Kingledoors, Broughton.

This gallant young lad joined the army at the beginning of the war, on the 10th
December, 1914, and would not have been eighteen years of age until the 28th of
January, 1915. He went into the offensive on Easter morning, the 9th of April,
1917, and engaged in two very severe battles at that time. The third battle that he
fought in was less severe, as his very last letter stated. It was dated the 23rd May
(two days before he fell), and in it he said — "Still in the trenches, but having an
easy time." On coming out of his second battle, there were left but three only out
of the draft he went out with. Referring to his last engagement, his officer said that
John was killed instantaneously by a shell while gallantly fighting on the Scarpe,
near to Arras, and that his loss was keenly felt by all his comrades. He was a
machine-gunner in the Second Ninth Royal Scots. "My boy was a good boy, loved
and adored by all who knew him, and his death was a great blow to his parents, as
he was our only boy." He did not fight long, only from the 9th of April, 1917, until
the 25th of May.

Wishart, William Muir, 2/Lt
William Muir Wishart was born at 3 Mulberry Place in Edinburgh on 22 May
1885. He was educated at the prestigious George Heriot’s School and in 1911
William’s time was divided between working as an Insurance Clerk and as a part
time student.
He had been attending Edinburgh University, and on 26 November 1915 whilst he
was employed as an actuarial clerk, William visited the recruiting office on
Frederick Street and enlisted under the Derby Scheme with the 9th Battalion Royal
Scots.
Private 6576 William Muir Wishart was described as being 5 feet 5½ inches in
height, weighed 10 stone 3lbs and with good physical development and was sent
to the army reserve on 1 December.
Six months later on 14 June 1916 William joined the Edinburgh University
Officers' Training Corps, serving as a Cadet Private. A formal application to join
an Officer Cadet Unit was made and was duly accepted and William was sent to
join the No.8 Officer Cadet Battalion at Lichfield on 5 October.
On 24 January 1917, William’s commission came through, and he was appointed
the rank of Second Lieutenant in the 8th Battalion Seaforth Highlanders. The
position was gazetted a month later on 26 February, and overseas service followed
shortly afterwards when William joined his battalion in France on 19 March
1917….[continues]

C. Young Charles Young. Dated 26/4/15.
Third image: Intimation has been received in Edinburgh that Sergeant Charles
Young “A” Company, who resided at 3 Caledonian Place, Edinburgh, was killed
in action on the morning of the 20th inst. Prior to the war Sergeant Young was in
the service of the GPO, Edinburgh, where he commenced as a telegraph lad. He
was married in the beginning of June last year, and a baby girl was born to him the
day after the battalion left Edinburgh. Mrs Young had just posted a photograph of
the child to her husband, and the letter would reach France the day on which
Sergeant Young met his death.

Mrs Young has received a touching letter from Colonel Blair, commanding the
“Ninth”, in which he says – “I knew your husband well and liked him much – for
his personal charm as well as his devotion to duty. Poor fellow he kept his head a
little too long above the parapet, and a German sniper must have been on the
watch, for he received a bullet in the head and died almost immediately. His body
will be removed to-night and brought back to the little cemetery at the edge of the
wood, where he will sleep his last sleep alongside several of his comrades and
amid the incessant roar of the guns of both sides and the whistle of bullets. A cross
with his name and regimental number will be erected to his memory, and you may
be sure his last resting place will be reverently cared for.”
Lieutenant Paulin, in a letter of sympathy to Mrs Young, says – “By the death of
your husband the battalion has lost one of its best sergeants and also the men of
No. 2 platoon a true friend.”
-
One of the youngest sergeants in the battalion, was shot through the heart. Before
the war he was a postman having been in the service a good many years,
commencing as a telegraph lad. Married only a month or two before mobilisation
he leaves behind a widow and a baby girl, born after the bn had gone to the front.

YOUNG, NORMAN MITCHELL, Lieut., 1st Battn. Royal Scots, eldest s.of
the late .Alexander Young, Director of Alexander Cowan & Sons. Paper Makers,
by his wife, Bessie P. Ravenslea, Trinity. Edinburgh. dau. of William and Selina
Hannah Cormack : b. Edin. 23 Aug. 1890; educ. Edinburgh Academy; joined
the 9th (Territorial) Battalion of the Royal Scots, .Aug. 1908, and was in
command of a company at the Coronation of King George V and Queen .Mary in
1911 (medal); passed into the Regular Army in 1913 and was gazetted 2nd Lieut.
10 Dec. 1913 ; promoted Lieut. Aug. 1914; served in India, Feb. to Oct. 1914,
and with the Expeditionary Force in France and Flanders. 19 Dec. 1914. to 23
April, 1915, on which date he was killed in action at the second Battle of Ypres.
He was mentioned in Sir John (now Lord) French's Despatch of 31 May, 1915. for
gallant and distinguished conduct in the field. His commanding officer.
Col. (now Brigadier) D. Callender wrote : " He was so brave always, so devoted to
his duty, such a favourite with both officers and men, that he will be the greatest
loss to the regt. In all my 28 years’ experience I have never met a young officer
who promised so well. He was so keen, so absolutelv reliable that I do not see how
I can ever replace him. He was hit by a shell killing him outright, so did not suffer
at all.” and again “He was one in a thousand. I had some time before
recommended him for the Military Cross for his constant good word and
bravery. He so thoroughily deserved it "; and Private J. T. Devlin : "Your son,
Mr. Young, joined my company when he came out to India ; when we were
ordered for active service he took charge of our platoon, and I took over Observer
to him and was by his side when he was killed. .My job in the trenches was to go
with the late .Mr. Young wherever he went, and believe me he was as brave an
officer as ever walked on to the field. I may state here that he was known in the
company as the best officer in it and he only missed four days in the trenches,
when he went down to Rouen for a draft of new men, and then the men could be
heard saying, “ Oh, how I wish Mr. Young was here ; you could always trust your
life in his hands."" Capt. Lucas of the 9th Battn. also wrote: “He told me he didn't
like burying his men without saying a prayer, and he just made one up as he went
along. For his sympathy in this way, these rough lads loved and respected him. I
was with them in the trenches at St. Eloi. and I could see very plainly they would
do anything for Norman. He was straight, dead straight in his dealings, and had no
affectation or false pride about him. and that is what we all like, simple, true,
honest, and with a kind and generous heart ; to know him was to love him.
Already we in the 9th Royal Scots had hoped that in the future he would be our
Adjutant, and that shows better than words can tell what we thought of him.”

Welsh language article poorly translated by Google:
‘a book written by Major WP Young, MA, MC, DCM, with Foreword by Dr.
Cairns, trying to answer this question. Major Young is a son to the Rev. John
Young, DD, a minister in the Free Church of Wales. WP Young, who graduated
from MA, at the University of Edinburgh, went to the New College to get a
tragedy of admiralty adventure, and then became a missionary to Livingstonia in
Mid Africa. In September, 1914, he joined as a private and the 9th Royal Scots,
and, he fought with a witchcraft near Ypres, until he was wounded in June, 1915.
That's when he won the DCM. his right arm was disrupted so that more could not
go out to fight, but he tried the Chaplain post with the 5th Seaforth Highlanders,
and served his spiritual needs and his Rip on campus from Feb. Feb. 16th to
Garffen- naf, 1917. On the 17th of July he went out to France as Chaplan with the
6th and 6th Seaforths in the 51st Division until March, 1918. The M.C. and he was
made Major. He was with these Catrons in Cambrai, and there he died as a
prisoner, and was in Ger- llawer, TiaiOhwedid ^ 1918. He is now one of the
Traveling Secretaries of the Students Union. It is immediately seen that a man of
his ability, from his culture, and from his scandalous and military experience is
entitled to a hearing. The title of Illyf r is "A Soldier to tlhe GhurCih,"’
