Guest Kieron Hoyle Posted 8 February , 2003 Share Posted 8 February , 2003 I have been researching this soldier for a long time: b. 18 Jan 1891 in Ayrshire Lieut 21 Aug 14 Served with 101 Field Ambulance RAMC 1915-17 then with a CCS. Awarded Military Cross 1917; bar 1918. Continued to serve with RAMC between the wars. Commanded 1st Malayan CCS and taken POW 1942-45. Died in tragic circumstances in Edinburgh 6 Oct 1948. I have quite a lot on him, but one thing I'm lacking is - where is he buried? Have any of you come across him or 101 Field Ambulance: photos etc? Because he served in WW2 his papers are not available at the PRO yet, but have seen his POW record for WW2 and war diaries etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Dodd Posted 8 February , 2003 Share Posted 8 February , 2003 If it was an accident there should be something in the Edinburgh papers. If you can try those. Conor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kieron Hoyle Posted 8 February , 2003 Share Posted 8 February , 2003 Thanks Conor - I do have an obituary for him, but it's his burial place I don't know. Jacky - that was one fact I didn't have for the WW1 period; I owe you a cup of tea in John's next time Paul and I are in Ypres! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
