Lanarkshire / Re: Looking for Ewart
« on: Monday 28 August 17 19:16 BST (UK) »
Thank you Monica and Carole : v touched by your support .
The only information comes from a conversation with an elderly aunt.
I would say the certainties are that he was in a kilted regiment stationed at Redford . ( Cameron Highlanders were stationed there at that time ) He was from Lanarkshire with an older sister called Bridget . This was in 1928 . The name is not on the birth certificate. He called himself Ewart but there is no suitable candidate on Scotlands people.
He marched " in front of his men " so I assume he was a Lance Corporal .
Do you think Edward might have been pronounced Ewart ?
I so wish I had asked more questions when I had the opportunity .
