Many thanks for that, and the further info by email - it really is hugely appreciated. :)

None of my family seem to know much about Pte Thomas Mair, but should I discover anything I'll be sure to let you know!

I'd be interested to know what the diary records for 13 October 1916.

The reason I ask is that it seems one Thomas Mair was killed on that date. He's remembered on the Portsoy war memorial in NE Scotland, and possibly on the Thiepval memorial. He is the namesake of my son, who is in Primary 4.

Although the Seaforths' Thomas doesn't seem to be a relative of ours, I'd be grateful if you could provide whatever extract you have so that I can fill in the picture a bit for my son!

Many thanks.
