Jim,

sorry for not replying, I haven't been keeping too good an eye on my emails.  Many thanks for your help.  I suppose it is as concluded as anything can be.  I hope to be able to find out some other bits and bobs but, who knows if there is anything else out there?  Again, thank you.

Thanks Baird.  As I said to Jim, I have not been keeping an eye on my emails so missed the notification of this.  Yes, I got the PM with the diary extract.  You are a star.

I was out on site with one of my soon to be waxwork colleagues.  He was telling me, out of nowhere, he is going to go to Arras because his GG grandfather died there.  I said nothing and then he said that from his research, he established that he was killed in an attack on a chemical works.  I said "it wasn't Roeux, was it?".  I think you know what the answer was!

He wasn't in the Seaforths but was in the Cameronians.  Nevertheless, such a small world.

Yrs Ranald a small world indeed.
 My wife had a relative killed at Reoux Chemical Works serving with 5th Gordons in May 1917.

Good grief!  Goes to show that 6 degrees of separation is sometimes a long chain!  Just read my earlier post.  "waxwork colleague"?  That should be "ex-work"!
