Royal Scots WW1 Roll of Honour

[Cramond Brig]

Are these off a War Memorial or from newspaper obituaries?

No. They are compendia of information from a variety of sources collated by me in the course of researching my family. All of them are related to me. Sources include the CWGC web site, Scotland's People and newspapers, though I don't think I have actually seen a newspaper obituary of any of them, and none of the information is taken from a war memorial.

Maybe asking too much, but it would be great if you could weave them into a story of relationships at the time and what you know about their earlier lives and how they fell. It would be excellent to put online as a family story, if you agreed.

I don't really have any more detail of the six individuals listed, though I could provide large trees of their relatives. I don't for instance (yet) know where any of them went to school or how they died, other than the general descriptions of various battles on the CWGC web site.

Although they are all related to me, not one of them is related to any of the others.

OK. If you are interested I can send you the file I have about Seville FC (in Spanish!!).

That's fine, thank you. I can read Spanish adequately.

Hi Monica,

I Had forgotten. I think you mentioned once that your mother was Spanish. If you care to PM your email address, I will send the file to you. I have never been able to get a good translation.

Thank you for the file, Alistair. I am working my way through it, and it makes interesting reading. I like the idea of  Los agentes de difusión británicos !

Monica, you are too kind.

Incidentally, the obituary quoted in translation, originally published in the Elgin Courant and Courier, is in error when it says that Mary Crombie (1855-1927) was the daughter of James Crombie of Grandholm Mills. She was in fact the daughter of his brother John Crombie (1819-1894) of Grandholm Mills. 

My connection to the Crombie family is through Mary Crombie's mother Jane Sang (1825-1900). I am not related to James Crombie, or to his famous great-great-great-granddaughter.

Glad you are enjoying it. I hope you will be able to let me have a translation in due course, if that is not asking too much.
