Guest Hill 60 Posted 21 August , 2003 Share Posted 21 August , 2003 Clint - I'm just about to hijack your thread, and I apologise. I've never come across the surname Scrymgeour before, so I ran a check on SDGW. Imagine my suprise when Scrymgeour appeared twice, and that the men's first names were James! Also, check out the dates of death. 44652 Pte James Scrymgeour, MGC(Infantry), born: Arbroath, enlisted: Arbroath, Died of Wounds 07/06/17, formerly 1687 R. High. 650687 Cpl James Scrymgeour, RFA.TF, born: Liverpool, enlisted: Edinburgh, Killed in Action 07/09/17. Both men are buried in Belgium, but in different cemeteries. That is what I call coincidence. Good hunting mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
