Roll of Honour Book for Selkirk.
« on: Monday 19 September 05 19:15 UTC (UK) »
Went to a car boot on Sunday and picked up the 'Roll of Honour Book for the Parish and Burgh of Selkirk 1914-1918'.
It lists the 292 men of Selkirk who lost their lives during the war of 1914-1918 in both the Army and Navy.
Also gives the 1004 men of Selkirk who served and survived in the war of 1914-1918 in both the Army and Navy.
It gives the name(s) of the soldier, his regiment (sometimes), how long he fought for, and sometimes gives medals awarded also.
Can do lookup's and put the book to good use.

Dear Dawn,
What a brilliant find;

a) Is it possible to photocopy the pages at all? If it is I would like to send you some money and have copies of that  honour roll booklet.  Perhaps I could put the soldier's names up on the web and give those men their own Web-Page.

Could you please let me know if you would have the time and access to a photocopy machine.

Hi Dawn,

Thank you  for your reply. I live in Sydney Australia however I shall send enough to cover postage and copying etc. Please let me know how much that would cost.  I will start on the web page as soon as I receive the material. 

Please also send me a private email with your postal address . I have already been researching the Selkirkshire soldiers who served in the Army  1770-1850 and to have these latter day soldiers included with the others would be very appropriate.

Cheers

Hi there,
Would it be possible to check if any Taylors of Galasheils or Whites of Clovenfords, Melrose or Ayton are in that book please? 
I'm just starting out on my search for my family's background and it would be helpful to find out something...
Thanks,

When I transcribed the Auld Kirkyard in Selkirk  I also included the large list from the wAR MEMORIAL IN sELKIRK covering both wars
The CD can be obtained from  www.bordersfhs.org.uk  priced £10 plus p and p.
The society also has a copy which I think included all those who survived as well as those who perished.
Hope that helps those living abroad who want copies.

Hi from Australia Worth,

I am trying to trace some info on my Great-Grandfather who died in France (1918) in WW1 as a Seaforth Highlander soldier (private), 9th Battalion. His name was John Hamilton and he was born in Selkirk. I was wondering if it is possible for you to have a look in your Roll of Honour Book from Selkirk and let me know if there are any details of family members (e.g. wife, kids, etc.) that may give me a start on looking for my family please.

Regards pegasus1053

I tried the Commonwealth War Graves Commision and found several for you. suggest you try it www.cwgc web site .If you put in 1917 j Hamilton you get a large list and I found entries 4,5,23 and 33 were j hamiltons privates .When you click on the entry you can get certificates and details.
If you know he was born selkirk have you got a date? Birth certs give parents details.
