Hi Ikonas,
My grandad was Henry's brother . What I know about Henry is that he enlisted in the "2nd SCOTTISH HORSE " and served in the BOER war in 1902.
He then came back to Kilsyth and lived in King street lane Kilsyth ,until WW1 , when he re enlisted in the ARGYLL & Sutherland HLDRS where he was promoted up to sergeant . He was wounded in 1916 (leg wound ) and discharged in 1917 on a war pension.
He was married (no details , except that his wife and family were getting an ARMY allowance ,no names) and lived in Kilsyth at the same address after the war .
I got up to 1921 ,but I cant find any trace after that , perhaps you can fill me in for my family tree .
My Grandad was Alexander who joined the Stiringshire police and then the Glasgow police he died in 1938.
I have lots more info on the whole line if you are interested.
