Guys,
I am compiling a book of those who fell in the Great War from the districts above.

I am looking for information on the following guys -

Patrick Brawley – Private   Connaught Rangers
Alex McDonald – 12 Brown Street, Newmains  - Glasgow Highlanders
George Richardson 24, Furnace Row, Newmains - Glasgow Highlanders
Alex Wilson 33, Loch View-Highland Light Infantry

William Bell Private Cambusnethan Street - Royal Scots Fusiliers
William Brownlie 116 Cambusnethan Street, Royal Air Force


Any help on these guys would be appreciated.

Hi Swally,

Have a look at the Scottish War Memorials & War Graves Projects sites, you might find some bits and pieces there.

Hi

You don't say where you have looked already. For example, I take it you have tried the obvious CWGC and SNWM sites?

What is the source of the list of names?

[aghadowey]

Are you researching all the names on the memorials or have just listed a few that you are stuck with?

2nd Lieut. Gilbert McClelland Kennedy of Cambusnethan was killed in action 15 June 1915. He was born in Aghadowey and I collected material on the family when doing research on our local memorial.

This guy has published a lot of books on the fallen of Lanarkshire

Where did you find Patrick Brawley's details? Was it a memorial, or elsewhere?

The source of the names is a booklet that was published in the early 2 called the Cambusnethan Parish Roll Of Honour . Patrick Bradley is listed as killed, I have since found out he didn't die, he emigrated to Canada. It my have been one of the other Brawlers. Thanks
