Carolina Posted 10 March , 2019 Share Posted 10 March , 2019 Hello everyone, Can you help me with any information or photos of my Grandfather? His name was Sgt Edward Hume Grant and he served in the 9th Batalion, Company C, Black Watch, service number 11765, enrolled in Glasgow in October 1915, shot but survived two years later?

Admin Michelle Young Posted 10 March , 2019 Admin Share Posted 10 March , 2019 Hello Carolina and welcome. I have split this into a separate topic as it isn't relevant to the battle of Loos. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf mcm Posted 10 March , 2019 Share Posted 10 March , 2019 Carolina, Welcome to the forum. Ancestry have a pension record for your Grandfather, but it can only be viewed on Fold 3 or by Western Front Association members. The rcord states that Edward received a pension, due to a gun shot wound to the left arm and gas poisoning. He was discharged on 26/3/19, Regards, Alf McM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langdon Posted 10 March , 2019 Share Posted 10 March , 2019 His medal roll on Ancestry shows that he was also in the 8th Battalion. Both 8th and 9th Battalions were in Belgium at the Armistice. I know the 3rd Reserve Bn was at the Curragh... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
