Hi Gadget
Here is an update.
I contacted Dunbarton local history library with my find.
The man agrees it is most likely a mistake on the soldiers who died cd.
They put place of birth a Kilmarnock, instead of Kilmaronock.
I have since received photo's of John Munn's memorial in Tyne Cot Cemetery, Belgium.
I have photo's of all four, that just leaves Baghdad, but I would think the head stone would be rubble now, going by the photo's I have seen of Basra cemetery.
Clydebank library looked at the index for the war years, no mention of the five brothers being killed 
Not sure where to look now.
I am awaiting a reply regarding James Munn, their father.

Hi Pettsy
Glad you're getting there 
Like you, I don't think that the Baghdad monument will have survived but you could try.
Hope you get more info on James. I have managed to get quite a few obits of my lot and, when they list mourners and potted life stories, they are a great source.
Good luck

Hi Gadget
I have e mailed for info on their mother, Margaret Munn nee McAulay's obituary too.
It is a grave in Baghdad, not a memorial, which makes it worst in a way, God only knows what the locals would do to the grave/headstone 
I have seen photo's on a war website, and the stones are smashed up, RUBBLE  the Blackwatch were at Basra cemetery trying to repair and make good, and they ere surprised to see the memorial still standinf with names of Black Watch soldiers on (WW1)
Still 4 out of 5 photo's is not too bad.
If you are after grave or memorial pic's, have a look at the great war forum.

No obituary for their mother, as the library told me they never done them for women in 1906, unless they were rich and upper class.
Cannot find one for James Munn either, who died in 1945
Maybe I will have to contact Lochgilphead Library.
I have decided to hve a look on SP to see if any of the other three brothers were married.
