John Sloan 1st Gordon Highlanders

Recommended Posts

I am currently researching this soldier who came from my home town of Coatbridge and was awarded the MM.

He was Gazzeted on the 14/5/1919 I would like to find out where the Gordons were in the line and what if possible action he may have been involved in.

regards

Where the 1st Gordons were in the line when?

As he was Gazetted in May of 1919 I assume the action must have been very late 1918, so on that basis the following map will probably help:

If you go to Airdrie research library, they have period Airdrie & Coatbridge Advertiser and another now defunct local newspaper on microfilm, you may find the reason for his MM on there.
