Also details of Pte John Brown of QOCH who is inscribed on the memorial. There may be a family connection. Ronnie.

Rob Bulloch Posted 15 May , 2003 Author Share Posted 15 May , 2003 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. Regards Rob. Bulloch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB64 Posted 9 October , 2005 Share Posted 9 October , 2005 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. Alistair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
