Title: K.O.S Borderers
Post by: 2november78 on Tuesday 12 January 10 16:19 GMT (UK)

Hi,

Does anyone have any information or stories on the KOS Borderers. My ggrandfather was in them and would be interesting to see if anyone comes back with anything.

Yes, had a look earlier.
Would be really nice to know there are other people on here with that link in their family and see if they had any stories.

Unfortunately i don't have any stories apart from my ggrandfather was apparently shot in the head but survived and carried on in the army.  :)

my grandfather was wounded in Gallipoli was in the 1st of the 4th KOSB and I have found the war record on line, which vividly and horrifically describes the way in which he tries to help his cousin.
