Rob,

I've attached a pic from the Campbeltown War Memorial of the Cameron Highlanders who fell. Also details of Pte John Brown of QOCH who is inscribed on the memorial. There may be a family connection.

Thank you for your help Neil and Ronnie, on Pte Robert Brown, As to the Campbeltown connection Why would Robert Brown,s name not be on the Memorial, I have him listed as living in my home town of Cambusnethan Lanarkshire. Thanks again.

Hi again Rob,

When I was at the Motherwell war memorial taking pics for someone else I found a Robert Brown in the Camerons section - not sure if he is the same guy. I took pics and can mail them to you if you wish. I can add that he isnt on the memorial outside Cambusnethan Old Parish.
