Reid Brothers Udny Scotland

[Guest Crow1903]

Hi,

This is my first post so please bear with me.

Does anyone know how many families lost 4 sons in the first world war please?

I have medals for the 4 Reid brothers (including one who served with the Canadian forces) and the 1 surviving son and was wondering how often this happened.

One cannot even start to imagine the agony those families went through.

Hi, Sandra. Welcome to the board.

There was an old thread about families with multiple casualties (click here to go to it), but I don't know if your Reid brothers are mentioned on it. It would be interesting to see if there is any information about them considering you have their medals. Are you a relative?

Hi Allie,

Thanks for your reply. The Reid brothers do not appear to be listed.

I am not a relative, although my husbands family originated form the area. The medals were listed on Ebay, personally I can't understand why?? I have researched them a bit and got a great response from an ad in a Scottish newspaper.

I was just curious if there were stats available for such events.
