I think that Aldershot would be where his regiment were stationed but it says died of wounds f&f 27/5/1918 so they must have been deployed to France & Flanders at the time he died.

Hi Bougie,
Do you have any information in your book about a John Edmondson, born 24/6/1892 in Hawick. His parents were Richard Edmondson and Elizabeth Pattison Kennedy. John emigrated to Canada in 1912 and joined the 48th Canadian Highlanders (Reg No 27062) at the outbreak of WW1. He married my grandfathers sister Jessie Hogg Wilkinson in 1917 in Hawick.
Also, my grandfathers brother William Briggs Wilkinson, born 11/04/1897 in Hawick and he joined the Seaforth Highlanders. His WW1 Medal Rolls Index Card gives his Reg No as S/7696, 5348 and 267704. Williams parents were William Briggs Wilkinson and Mary Hogg.
Thanks for looking.
Ritchie

Bougie,
I have a bit of puzzle here, and am hoping you can help me out.
When I was a lass I lived in Hawick, at Marfaux, Wilton Path.
We were told the orginal owners of the home built as an hotel, and name it Marfaux in memory of their son who was killed there.
I have always felt connected to that lad, but don't know his name.
I have talked to Derek Robertson about this, and he couldn't help me.
Bougie.. you are my last hope.
cheers
Shelley

Hi Bougie,
could you please check for any mention of 3 Huggan family members I am researching, killed in the Great War.
John Huggan husband of Wihelmina Parker,father Thomas Huggan,mother Jessie Douglas.
William Huggan, John's brother.
James Jeffrey Huggan,husband of Isabella Clark,father John Huggan,mother Mary Welsh.
Hi Terie, I also have a photograph of James Jeffrey Huggan - I don't know if it's the same as the one you already have but it's an extract from a local newspaper with a paragraph beneath. If it's different from the one you have pm me and perhaps we can swap images?
Nicola
James J Huggan was a cousin of John and William Huggan.
I believe William and James lived in Hawick and John had immigrated to Canada.
Thanks for any help,
Amanda,
Canada.
