Remembered Today:

Andrew Simpson Pratt - Black Watch/RAMC

Recommended Posts

I found an MIC for Andrew Simpson Pratt No. 2680 Black Watch / 305372 RAMC.

 

He entered France on 2nd May 1915 therefore, I assume, was 6th or 7th Black Watch.

 

Unfortunately his War & Victory Medal Roll does not provide which battalion of the Black Watch he served with, nor does his Pension Card.

 

He was from Dundee and operated a dental practice in Alexander Street on the Hilltown after the war. He lost a son in World War Two - Philip J. R. Pratt 113 Sqdrn. R.A.F.

 

Is there any way/other information available which would inform of his Black Watch battalion.

 

Thanks

 

Mark
