I am interested in finding out were these men would have been buried
one of the men on there is my grandmothers uncle Felix McCorkindale

I have looked on the CWGC and cant find anything
any suggestions on were else I could look

Quarry Scottish Cemetery Montauban was between the Quarry and the north end of Bernafay Wood. It contained the graves of 55 soldiers (largely 11th and 12th Royal Scots) who died in July 1916.

Royal Scots

The 11th 12th and 13th battalions were raised in August 1914 in Edinburgh with the 11th and 12th allocated to 9th (Scottish) Division and the 13th to 15th (Scottish) Division and moved to France in mid-1915. They first saw action at the Battle of Loos where the 11th was almost wiped out -  and spent the remainder of the war on the Western Front. The 11th and 12th moved into to Germany after the armistice -  the 12th was reduced to a cadre in April 1919 and disbanded in the UK in June whilst the 11th was reduced to a cadre and disbanded at Cologne in November
