Robert Easson Black Watch WW1
« on: Sunday 07 November 21 10:52 GMT (UK) »
Good morning to to you all.

I am hoping that you very talented people can give this gentleman a spruce up please.

Robert joined up at the beginning of WW1 but was severely wounded in France on 24th May 1916. He was transferred to Alder Hey Military Hospital, Liverpool where he sadly died on 14th November 1919.

He was brought back to St Monans, Fife, Scotland for burial where he lies in an unmarked grave. The CWGC have now agreed to erect a Headstone in the Kirkyard to honour him. I have had word that this will happen fairly soon. There is a Memorial Service planned for the day by family and the local Community Council.

This is the only photo of Robert that survives.

Thank you,
