Royal Scots WW1 Roll of Honour
« on: Friday 10 June 11 15:42 BST (UK) »
I have just started work on this. I hope to combine the information from the
databases of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, Soldiers/Officers Died in the Great War, and the Scottish National War Memorial. I know from experience that they all have deficiencies, and I have already found eight men whose deaths are not recorded in any of the above.

I am including any biographical material I can find or have been given.

If anyone has any stories or family information they would care to share with me I would be very pleased to receive them.

At the age of 71, I hope I live long enough to complete this task!!

Regards to all.

Well done for taking this on. I trust you will be advising the CWGC of any they do not appear to have commemorated, although sometimes they are there but under different spellings etc.

How's it going, with the Roll of Honour?

I have finished the Argylls (208 pages) and the Black Watch (279 pages) and just starting the Royal Scots. Any biographical info or stories gratefully received!!

Thank you. This work has certainly opened my eyes to the huge effect the Great War had on Scotland and the people.
