Born Edinburgh

Died 29/09/1917

Unit 2nd Bn Royal Scots

Rank Private

Theatre F&F

was he a victim of the attack on Zonnebeke on 26th or a casualty of trench warfare? I know he is in BRANDHOEK NEW MILITARY CEMETERY No.3 so probably dow at a CCS.

Any details at all.

Thanks

Thanks for that confirmation Sotonmate. There is no will in the NAS to see. Of the eight men in 2nd RS who died that day 2 died in No7 Hospital Ypres, five are remembered on Tyne Cot and Robert is buried at BRANDHOEK.

Appreciate your reply.

Aye
