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.

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

Re the Royal Scots just get in touch with the archivist at Edinburgh Castle Royal Scots Museum (very helpful in the past) if you know the soldiers number it makes it easier, If they can't get the exact info you require they can give you regimental leads.
Also at the Edinburgh Castle the Rolls of Honour for WW1 (Scotland) are on view to the public - I can't remember but I think its by regiments.
The people at the museum were very helpful. Not sure if the service is still free - so there may be a small charge or donation
I enquired about a g/uncle of mine in the Seaforth Highlander (who died but body wasn't found) and there sent me info on the battle he died in etc. also I go info/leads on ggg/uncle who died in the Crimea (just from the medal info there gave me a regiment lead which resulted in getting a copy of his papers.
so, it is worth trying them

Unfortunately all the common databases are deficient in one aspect or another (CWGC, SDGW and SNWM) and this is what I an trying to deal with in the Rolls I am researching. I have actually found a significant number of men whose deaths were not included in these databases despite being caused by their war service. And, of course, the databases do not have any real biographical information.

He was my Great Uncle.

Good on you for your efforts on this - I think it means so much more if some personal information is available for the fallen. Here is one of mine:-
Private 39312 Robert Alexander
"A" Coy. 16th Bn. Royal Scots
Taken prisoner on 12 April 1918
Died of wounds in Lagensalza POW Camp 13 May 1918
Buried in Niederzwhren Cemetery, grave reference X.B.6.
Born 31 Dec 1892 at Bo’ness, West Lothian
Son of Thomas and Mary Alexander.
Also remembered on Bo'ness War Memorial and on his parents’ grave in Bo'ness Cemetery.
Robert married Joan Adamson in Glasgow on 6 Nov 1917 when he was home on leave. Robert married Joan in secret and his family never knew of the marriage until after the war. He returned to his unit in France a few days later and never saw her again. He wrote to his family in April/May 1918 to tell them that he was a POW – but no mention that he had been wounded. It is unknown if the wounds he died of were sustained at the front or in the POW camp. He was a stretcher bearer in his unit and the youngest son in his family, in civilian life he worked for his father as a haulage contractor.

Here's one from my Swarbrick database:
Thomas Swarbrick was born in Newbridge Midlothian in 1893 and at some point lived in Linlithgow. In January 1914 he joined the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. He was killed in action on 21st January 1917. He was the second of five children born to Thomas Henry and Jane [Ritchie] Swarbrick. In 1901 he was living with his parents at Kirknewton and East Calder, Midlothian, where his father was working as a plasterer’s labourer.
Thomas is also remembered on the Linlithgow War Memorial as:
Swarbrick Thomas Pte 1914-1918
“Soldiers Who Died in the Great War” gives the additional information that Thomas Swarbrick was born in Newbridge, Midlothian, lived at Linlithgow and enlisted at Stirling and that he was killed in action.
In 1914 the 2nd Battalion of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders was stationed at Fort George. Fort George was and is a massive military base, some 11 miles from Inverness and situated on the Moray Firth. On 14th August 1914 the Battalion landed at Boulogne; Thomas has a date of entry of 11th September, so he may well have been in a subsequent draft.

At the moment, it's a bit like juggling. Let me explain.
Since 2008, the University of Edinburgh's Centre for the Study of Modern Conflict has been working with Edinburgh, Leith and the Lothians' libraries, schools and community groups to ensure that the story of Scotland's contribution to the Great War is not forgotten. Furthermore, the partnership was strengthened when The Scottish Military Research Group became a partner in 2010, History Fest in 2011, and the National Library of Scotland in 2013. Scotland's War was launched on 28 June 2013. On 7 July 2013, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) joined as a partner. A number of other organisations have made initial contact indicating a wish to work with us and The Scotsman has recently become a partner. From our joint efforts over the past few years, it has become all too obvious that the history of this nation at war remains largely untold, particularly the civilian efforts on the Home Front.
From the earliest days of the project, public engagement has been central to its success. We now have a very active programme working with libraries, carrying out WW1 archival and document searches, and the public and institutions have submitted family or institutional papers for inclusion in the WW1 public engagement initiative. Many of them can now be found on the new website (www.edinburghs-war.ed.ac.uk). We have strict guidelines and an ethical policy on the submission and use of documents, photographs, artefacts and memorabilia.
In October 2012, in collaboration with our partners, Edinburgh City Libraries, we launched The WW1 History Hub which is supporting people to tell family stories about their contribution to the Great War. The WW1 History Hub initiative is a first in the UK and is a product of years of work between Edinburgh City Libraries and the University of Edinburgh.
We have a unique opportunity to allow the present generation of Scots to trace the footsteps of their ancestors in order to tell the whole story of Scotland's people, their service, and their sacrifice in the Great War and to reflect on the consequences of a conflict that arguably changed our nation forever.
At the moment Edinburgh's War can be found at www.edinburghs-war.ed.ac.uk. Scotland's war will evolve using the same template.
I am the Project Manager, and, as you can imagine, there is no shortage of things to do, and, of course, we welcome contributors from all over the world.

Thanks for the very comprehensive reply. What a superb project you are leading - the information you are gathering will be a truly valuable resource to genealogists for generations to come. Also a worthy tribute to everyone involved in WW1.
I looked over the Edinburgh's War site - excellent stuff.

Thank you very much. Are these off a War Memorial or from newspaper obituaries?
There is quite convincing evidence that Edward Farquharson Johnston was the founder of Seville FC, the well known Spanish football club, although they are not too keen on accepting that the club was founded by a Scot!
-
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.

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.
Alistair

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.

It was Monica who offered a translation, I think.
Here, however, is my transcription of the original obituary
We regret to announce the death of Mr Edward Farquharson Johnston, younger son of the late Major James Johnston of Newmill, and brother of Colonel Charles J Johnston, DL, VD, The Camp, Lossiemouth. Mr Johnston had a serious illness two years ago, but he seemed to make a good recovery, and he was looking forward to spending part of this summer at The Camp, Lossiemouth, to which, as once his father's residence, he was very much attached, and which he had been prevented from visiting last year. A week ago, however, somewhat disappointing symptoms were observed, but at first nothing serious was anticipated. He gradually became weaker, and passed away early on Saturday morning at his residence, 11 The Boltons, London SW. The news of Mr Johnston's death was received with deep regret by all his old friends in Morayshire, to whom it came somewhat as a shock, as few if any were aware that he was ill. Mr Johnston was born at Newmill in October 1854. He was educated first at Weston House - once a noted seminary in Elgin - and afterwards at Mill Hill, the famous English Public School near London of which Sir John McClure was formerly headmaster. On completion of his education, Mr Johnston entered the business house of Messrs Robert McAndrew and Co, London, who were connected with his mother's family, and who have extensive business connections with Spain and Asia Minor. After some years in the London office, Mr Johnston went out to Seville as the manager of the firm's Spanish business. For about 30 years he remained there engaged in the oversight of an extensive commercial undertaking, which he managed with conspicuous success, and whose already large operations he was the means of materially increasing. About five or six years ago, Mr Johnston was able to retire from the active work of business and took up residence in London. Whenever he found the opportunity, he was wont to come north to his native country; and nothing delighted him more than to spend a few weeks at Lossiemouth, with all its happy associations with the holidays of boyhood and youth. Mr Johnston married a daughter of the late Mr James (sic) Crombie, woollen manufacturer, Grandholm Works, near Aberdeen. Mrs Johnston is a sister of the late Mr John W Crombie, MP for Kincardineshire, and of Dr James E Crombie, Parkhill, who is a prominent figure in the public life of Aberdeenshire, as well as in the University Court at Aberdeen, where he sits as Lord Rector's Assessor. Of the marriage there were two sons - Mr Edward Johnston, who, on the outbreak of hostilities in 1914, obtained a commission as a Captain in the Royal Scots, and who was killed in the trenches in France early in the war, leaving a widow, who resides in London. The other son is Mr James Johnston, who joined his father in business, and who is at present in such poor health that he was not able to attend the funeral in Elgin yesterday. The body of Mr Johnston was cremated at Golder's Green on Wednesday afternoon and the ashes placed in an urn enclosed in an oak coffin, were taken north by the night train from King's Cross, Elgin being reached, via Aberdeen, at 10.35 yesterday morning. Morayshire relatives and friends assembled at the LNE station and joined the funeral procession to Elgin Cemetery, where the burial service was said by Rev Canon L M Hay-Dinwoody MA, rector of Holy Trinity Church. The pall-bearers were Colonel C J Johnston, The Craig, Lossiemouth (brother); Mr J H Hair, Skerrycliff, Lossiemouth (brother-in-law); Mr J E Crombie LL D, Parkill (brother-in-law); Mrs Edward Johnston (daughter-in-law); Colonel W J Johnston, Lesmurdie (nephew); Mr W H Rose (nephew); Mr G A MacLean, Westfield; Mr Cosmo Gordon, of Buchromb. The general company of mourners, which was unusually large, included Mr J F Cumming, Convener of the County; Mr R B Gordon, Procurator-Fiscal; Mr E D Jameson, County Clerk; Captain J Brander Dunbar of Pitgaveny; Dr T H W Alexander, Woodpark, Lhanbryd; Mr Allan S Gregory, Maryhill; Mr J Denoon, Lossiemouth; and others. [Elgin Courant and Courier, 20 June 1924, page 5, column 3]
I've been looking at the MacAndrew and Co connection. It is not on EFJ's mother's side, as stated in the obituary. His mother was Margaret Miller Farquharson. It was his paternal grandmother who was a M(a)cAndrew. She was Mary M(a)cAndrew, daughter of James M(a)cAndrew and Mary, who I think was possibly née Maria Shirley. Mary M(a)cAndrew's sister Eliza M(a)cAndrew married in 1829 Robert M(a)cAndrew, born in Wandsworth, Surrey in 1802, son of William M(a)cAndrew and Antonia, surname unknown. It was this Robert M(a)cAndrew who seems to have founded the company that sent EFJ to Seville.
Sorry, this is off-topic!

Greetings.
This is my first post and my English is poor, so I use the translator with all its mistakes and successes. Apologies.
The figure of Mr. Edward Farquharson Johnston is especially important to us, the Sevilla Football Club (Seville, Spain), because our Team founded on January 25, 1890 From Mr. Johnston, born in Newmill, Elgin-Moray), we have extensive dossier. I leave a sample of one of our jobs. I reiterate my apologies for my poor English.
Take care.

Hola
gracias por este mensaje. Yo era consciente de la parte que el señor Johnston había desempeñado en la formación de Sevilla FC y trató de establecer contacto con el club de la historia. No he recibido respuesta.
YO estaría muy interesada en tener el expediente completo con el fin de conseguir que se traduzca.
Mejores deseos
