Hi Bougie
Can I just say what a great job you are doing.
If it's possible could you look up my great uncles, Lance Corporal John (Jock) Charters of the Gordon Highlanders died 31/07/1917 and his brother Private Elliot Charters of 7th/8th Bn KOSB died 27/5/1918.
Thanks
Sabu1

John and Elliot Charters are both in the book. If you want pictures pm me your email address and i will send them.
It is absolutely no bother to do this and it is worth it when sometimes the people concerned have never seen a picture of this relation before. The many thanks that i get off everybody is my reward.

Thanks very much for this Bougie
I will send you a pm but I was wondering if you could tell me how they died so that I can tell my mum? I seem to remember that somebody in the family said that one of them died of pneumonia. Any clues given.

Hi Bougie
My mum is also looking for information on her dad William J Whillans who she believes was in the Royal Garrison Artillery (possibly a Bombadier).
Any information would be gratefully received.
Best wishes

Hi sabu1
when you recieve the pictures you get all the details of how they died etc, below each one.
Sorry no William J Whillans in there. There are a few men not in the book that still took part in the war. [ One of them being my own grandfather ]. I can only think the reason for this is that the book was compiled quite quickly after the war and all details hadn't been gathered or maybe the families had to inform the authors and either didn't know or some other reason.

Hi Thirsty
There are 5 Rae s .
James son of Thomas, 2 Elm Grove
William son of James [ tailor ] 29 High Street
Walter J son of Walter, Buenos Ayres
Robert son of Mrs Rae 14 Gladstone St
Walter son of Mrs Rae 10 High Street
Don't know if amy of these are brothers . Maybe the bottom 2 if their mother changed address during the war. Also sometimes the mothers name is mentioned and sometimes the father. Sometimes both. This doesn't seem to mean that the father and mother weren't both alive during that time.
Let me know which, if any you want.
Sorry no Bogle s.

ps I can send them all if you want and you can take a look.

Hi aricandec
Was it same book. Would never give mine up as it was my grandfathers and it contains family members. Just of interest, where did it sell about? Was it this country ?

Yes, same book, very dilapidated state, in the local auction room in Hawick. I also have relations in it but had to use the local library's copy to get the info. Nice as it has photos too of some of the deceased.
I do have a copy of the HMSO: Soldiers died in the Great War 1914-1919, Part 30 - The King's Own Scottish Borderers. Not so easy to use as it is arranged by Battalion and covers the whole lot which might be useful to anyone who is sure their ancestor was in the KOSB when he died.

My great uncle Elliot Charters was in the KOSB (7th/8th Bn) when he died on 27th May 1918. We've just come back from a trip to France where we visited his grave. We also visited the Wellington Caves in Arras where up to 20,000 troops were positioned before the Battle and with the help of a very helpful curator managed to discover that my great uncle was indeed amongst those in the caves. But we have no idea how or where he died. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
