neilston Posted 23 May , 2019 Share Posted 23 May , 2019 Hi Folks I am looking to see if any of you more experienced researchers can help me out with details on one of my Villages WW1 Soldiers? Private Robert McDade served with the Royal Scottish Fusilliers 6th 7th Battalion Service number 19542 Born Paisley he resided in Neilston East Renfrewshire . He is reported wounded 3rd June 1916. He is reported missing - War Office Daily List No. 5365 Report Date: 15/09/1917 ?? He is reported died 31st July 1917 If he was missing why is he registered as Died and not Killed in Action or died of wounds ? many thanks Matt Neilston War Memorial association Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corisande Posted 23 May , 2019 Share Posted 23 May , 2019 His Soldiers Effects entry says presumed dead on or since 31 Jul 1917 In other words nobody knows how he died, and therefore cannot be more specific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
