« on: Friday 31 July 15 04:13 BST (UK)  »
Hi. Some of you may have seen my post on finding my grandma, Ellen smith in Duntocker, Scotland. Thanks  for the help.  Now I need help for her husband Joseph Hamill.  He was in the argyle/Sutherland regiment, fought in France and died oct 11/15.  Just found out today he was a prisioner of war.  His reg number is 2558.

Joseph hamill, born 1888, Od Kirkpatrick, married St Mary's church drc31/09' age 22, died oct 11/15.  Memorialized in the Menen gate at Ypres France.  The pow info I found  is a card and a paper says Beerdigt zu Gottingen,  the explanation says this means buried in Gottingen.  So where is he, how did he get captured and what happened to him.  Dint know where to turn on this one

Thanks everyone
