London Scottish
« on: Thursday 20 March 14 22:36 GMT (UK) »
I am researching a relative Thomas Allan Heron who is remembered on a memorial at Pollok House Glasgow.

His entry read " PTE T.A.Heron LDN.SCOTTISH Kiiled"

Can any one help?  Did this regiment recruit in Glasgow area?? If not why/how would he join?  Thanks
