Thank you: Would you have anything on Robert Norman LOCHHEAD M.C from RFA in WWII? He went on to become a Wing Commander in WWII.

Dave,

Can you check if there is anything on 325002 Sgt. George Speed Souness.8th Royal Scots,please.He was KIA 22 March 1918.

I have his Obituary from the local Paper and it would appear, earlier in the War, the Scotsman reprinted these.

I'm not too hopeful in you finding anything much,in view of his date of death and the many casualties at that time.

TIA

George

Hi Dave,

Anything on 285250 Pte Peter Johnstone - 6th Bn Seaforth Highlanders, killed 16/5/1917 at Roeux. He was an established player for Celtic Football club, so hoping the paper might carry something.

Many thanks

Hi Dave C1903.

Is there any mention of a Thomas Houston M.M. Bar 2nd Bn H.L.I service number 10892. I think he was Gazetted in 1916 and again in 1917? He came from Shettleston near Glasgow.

Best Regards Andy
