On the SNWM there is only one candidate for John Hamilton, Seaforth Highlanders:

Surname HAMILTON
Firstname John
Service Number 201146
Date Death 19/09/1917
Decoration M.M.
Place of birth 
Other - 21-09-17. 4th Bn.
SNWM roll THE SEAFORTH HIGHLANDERS
Rank Pte
Theatre of death F.& F.

There is another John Hamilton, Seaforth Highlanders but he was born in Larbert and died 1918. So Pte 201146 looks like your man.

Ive scrapped my ancestry sub so I cant look up for his medal card/ service records (hopefully hes with the 'H' surnames now online) Fingers crossed.

Hi.
Just found this site whilst looking for details of my Granfathers military service.

He was killed I believe in 1917 and liked in Galashiels Selkirk was wondering if he was in the book???

His name is Robert Scott Chief Stoker on HMS Royal Scot Huh died 1917 at sea.

Is there anything in your book on this please

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, I noticed a link in an earlier reply you have given to someone else re a bookshop I think that deals in borders record books, do you think I may get a roll of honour there for Galashiels???

Thanks

Scotty. Sorry dont know which bookshop ,I would think that most Councils would keep such records in which case try the Scottish borders council Newtown St Boswells on 01835 824000 which covers Galashiels or maybe you could try the Records office at The Hub Hawick

I was in Selkirk last year 2008 (I'm from Peebles, but live in W. Aust) and saw the war memorial ourside Sir Walter Scott's courthouse. On it was the name of my grandfather's brother, Andrew (aka Dan) Brown, who was KIA in France (don't know the year, but about 1916-1918) He served with the Royal Army Medical Corps as a private. He would have been in his mid 20's when killed. HIs parents were James Brown and Annie Turnbull. If you still have the Roll of Honour Book, would you be able to confirm my info, and any other info you can find, (pretty) please! I also have his brother Jock, who served as a private in the Black Watch in WW!, but have no info on him at all. Much obliged. Maureen

Just as a bit of interest, here is a post on the fabulous Scottish War Memorial website of Selkirk war memorial:

http://warmemscot.s4.bizhat.com/warmemscot-ftopic1138.html

There is also a post with a scan of the roll of honour on it.

I don't know how complete it is, but its worth a check.

It looks like a Pte Brown RAMC is listed.

Kind Regards
Tracey
