I'm afraid I didn't get a reply. I would have liked to get a copy of the book but it appears to be out of print.

Thanks very much, noticed Peter was still awarded medals for the Great War ... I wonder what the family would have felt when they were sent through knowing what had happened to him.... Story would make a good documentary drama ...

Regards,
Mark

His entry in the Scottish Statutory Record of Deaths (a copy of Army Form W.3231) records the Cause of Death as “Other Causes”. Causes of death given for some other Black Watch soldiers around that time are Died of Disease, Died of Wounds, Killed in Action and Missing Presumed Dead.  His entry in the Roll of Honour at the Scottish National War Memorial at Edinburgh Castle records the cause of death as “Died”.
