j.r.f Posted 24 January , 2008 Share Posted 24 January , 2008 ONE FOR TERRY Just been looking at THE TIMES ON LINE. DEATHS :- GRIERSON SIR JAMES MONCRIEF. GREAT WAR GENERALS 1914-1918:- States that he died in France through heart attack in train. G.W.G.C. States that he is buried in Scotland Glasgow Necropolis in Primus 38. I am sure you are aware of this TERRY but just incase you dont have it you now know. For those who dont know Terry is collectin information about those few people that died abroad in ww1 but are buried in this country. CHEERS FOR NOW. JOHN FLOOK.

armourersergeant Posted 24 January , 2008 Share Posted 24 January , 2008 Considered to be I think one of the best brains in the British army and a seniority rank at that. Without his death there would have been no Smith-Dorrien at le Cateau, I wonder if he would have done the same. With out SD then who would have replaced French, its mischivious to think it may not have been Haig but Grierson. Regards Arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPT Posted 19 August , 2011 Share Posted 19 August , 2011 I note that Sir James Moncrieff Grierson is today's "Remembered Today". Gave Haig a good hiding in the 1912 Army Manouvres. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Grierson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
