I thought I'd bring this thread back to the top of the pile with news that I've traced an Obituary, published in a local paper, that my mother-in-law had in the house all the time - in Charles's tobacco tin COMPLETE WITH A PIECE OF HIS BOGEY ROLL 
"Tragic - Found Dead on Railway - Dundee War Veteran's Tragic Death - Long Connection With Junior Football
The news of Charles Craig's tragic death on the railway line has come as a great blow to Dundee junior football circles, in which he was a prominent official.
Mr Craig had attended the Scottish junior cup-tie, between Dundee Violet and Arbroath Victoria at Arbroath on Saturday. Shortly after nine o'clock he was seen on the Arbroath station platform. He got off the Dundee train at Easthaven where it is understood he complained of not feeling well.
The train left without him, and it is believed that he had set out to walk along the line to Carnoustie where he would have a better chance of getting another train.
He had not proceeded far when he was knocked down by a train and his mutilated body was found lying on the line. His jacket was picked up near Carnoustie.
The body was so badly mutilated that the only means of identification was by a war-time identity disc, which deceased had in his possession at the time.
Mr Craig, who resided at 13 West Dock Street, had had along connection with junior football. For 22 years he had been associated with the Violet club, and prior to that he played for Dundee Wanderers, and later was trainer for the club.
War Service
Mr Craig served in the Black Watch from 1883 till 1918. He fought through the Sudan campaign, saw the battles of El Teb and Tammaai, and gained the Egyptian medal and star, and all this while he was still a recruit of not more that 17 years of age. He had overstated his age on enlistment.
In 1900 he rejoined the forces to take part in the South African war. He remained in the Volunteers until 1914. At the age of 48 Mr Craig offered his services on the outbreak of the Great War, and in 1915 he was drafted to France. He was personal servant to Colonel Harry Walker.
Wounded in Cavinchy
He was slightly wounded at Cavinchy and was with the battalion at Loos, which he described as a ghastly affair. It is a pathetic coincidence that Mr Craig should have met his end on the eve of the anniversary of Loos, when so many of the officers with whom he was brought in contact lost their lives.
At Rousbrugge a new battery came alongside the Black Watch and Mr Craig found that two of his sons were members of it. Other two sons also took part in the war. Shortly afterwards he was sent home, having been pronounced too old for the rigours of active service.
Mr Craig was 68 years of age, and is survived by his widow and family."
