mbriscoe Posted 14 July , 2018 Author Share Posted 14 July , 2018 I came across the report of Ottley's funeral Quote The Scotsman - Saturday 26 December 1914 Image © Johnston Press plc THE LATE LIEUTENANT GEOFFREY OTTLEY. FUNERAL AT FORT-WILLIAM. The interment took place in St Andrew's Churchyard, Fort-William, yesterday, of Lieutenant Geoffrey Ottley, Scots Guards , only son of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Ottley. The late officer, who was barely nineteen years of age, received his commission only a short time ago, and he was fatally wounded whilst leading a bayonet charge of his company near Lille. The body was taken to Fort-William by special train , and the massive oak coffin. surmounted by the Union Jack, on which lay Lieutenant Ottley's sword and cap, was borne from the station to St Andrew's Church on the shoulders of a contingent of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, preceded by pipe and drum and playing the "Flowers of the Forest." After a service in the church, which was crowded, the coffin was carried shoulder, high by the soldiers to the grave over which the customary volleys were fired, and a piper played, "Lochaber no More." The chief mourners were Sir Charles and Lady Ottley. Major and Mrs Steward, and Mr Edward Drummond Hay, R.N. The late Lieutenant Ottley had a great love for Lochaber, in a part of which his father some years ago built a Highland residence. Must have another look to see if I can find a report og Gooch's funeral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
