Not all the men are from Coatbridge.Many worked or lived there prior to enlistment.42 regiments are represented. Hoping i can help John McCann Hi John, Thanks for your offer of photos. My Grandfather, Robert Kerr, was in 13th Royal Scots and was originally from Slamannan but settled in Airdrie after the war. I would be grateful if you could look to see if you have any photos that would match. Regards, Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Black Posted 13 April , 2010 Share Posted 13 April , 2010 Is there any lads with the surname "Black" in the book? If there are then there's an excellent chance I'm a relation. There's heaps of us from that neck of the woods! John, what's the details of the book by the way? Publisher, page number, author(s) and the like? Cheers, Derek.

Derek, The men are listed by Regiment so its difficult to look for the name. The book was printed in 1919 by Hay,Nisbet and Co in Glasgow and was compiled by the Rev Samuel Lindsay and has 504 pages. If you give me some regiments i`ll lookk for you John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelse Posted 18 April , 2010 Share Posted 18 April , 2010 Hi John I don't know if you can help, but I am researching my family history and I know before the family moved to Norwich they were living in the Coatbridge area and wondered if there is any reference to anyone called "Boag" in the book. If there is anyone, I wouldn't know what regiment, and I would fully understand if you are unable to help me. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
