Title: George Cranston BAIRD WW1
Post by: trevalyn on Wednesday 18 June 25 11:02 BST (UK)
GEORGE  CRANSTON  BAIRD died on 23 Aug 1918 after serving with the Royal Garrison Artillery. His death was registered at Cambuslang.  Aged 42.  His Pension Card lists his next-of-kin as his brother, John Baird of Cambuslang. From this, I am assuming that he was unmarried.
George is entitled to War Grave status - if proof of burial can be established.
Does anyone know where George Cranston Baird is buried?
I would be very grateful for any information.
