Ladon Posted 13 October , 2005 Share Posted 13 October , 2005 Does anyone have access to "Soldiers Died in the Great War 1914-19"? and if so would they mind looking up the following for me. Lance Corporal David Duncan Page S/16536 Black Watch 9th Bn. KIA 28/03/18 Arras I have checked the CWGC but understand the above contains additional information. I would be grateful for any help you can give to enable me to continue my family research. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebie9173 Posted 13 October , 2005 Share Posted 13 October , 2005 The Scottish National War Memorial http://www.snwm.org/ has the following on him: Surname PAGE Firstname David Duncan Service number S/16536 Date of death 28/03/1918 Decoration Place of birth Leith Other 9th Bn. SNWM roll THE BLACK WATCH (ROYAL HIGHLANDERS) Rank L/Cpl Theatre of death F.& F. http://www.snwm.org/cgi-bin/db_w1.pl?function=view&id=125160 Steve. PS Same battalion as my great-uncle (below) by the way... Have you checked out his medal index card, and determined when he went to France? I know that there are photos available of the platoons of the original July 1915 men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dycer Posted 13 October , 2005 Share Posted 13 October , 2005 Ladon, We have a Forum Member(9th Black Watch) who as his Name suggests takes a particular interest in that Battalion. It might be worth PM'ing him from the Members Header at the top of the Web-Page as he may have supplementary information on your Relative. Another option is to retitle your your Headline information with your Relatives Name and Regiment as there are a few Forum Members with a particular interest in the Black Watch and they will be unable to resist a look if they see the Regiment mentioned George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 13 October , 2005 Share Posted 13 October , 2005 Whereas I'll look at everything! Steve. PS (again) I see your relative enlisted in Woolwich. Mine enlisted in London, too, though he lived in Peterborough and wasn't at all Scottish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladon Posted 13 October , 2005 Author Share Posted 13 October , 2005 Thanks for your help. I have learnt more in the last few minutes than I have discovered by myself in the last few months. Steve, I have the MIC at home so I shall check out the date he went to France tonight. From what I remember he had been there a few years (wounded twice in 1917). Haven't got any pictures of my Great Grandfather, although I am still searching. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
