Lanarkshire / Francis McKenna B August 10th 1894 Shettleston, Glasgow Where did he die?
« on: Monday 01 May 23 07:20 BST (UK) »
Looking for some help on this one please if anyone can shed light
Francis was from the Shettleston area of Glasgow. There was a story that he was killed in the troop train crash at Quintinshill near Gretna Green on 22 May 1915 but the memorial for this sad disaster does not share his name as a casualty. He has lost his life during WW1 given the family was given the death Penny as a memorial and recognition of his services in War .. I cannot see any detail of this Francis McKenna and wondered if anyone could offer a clue to his fate ?
Have looked at Scotlands People but dont see any alignment to any Francis McKenna in any listing of service deaths ..
Thanking in advance for any help
