Does it say where he was when he was wounded please ?
Thank You
Sandra
That record does not but a search of the Weekly Casualty Lists (held by the National Library of Scotland) shows the list that was published on the 12th November 1918 and there were a number of men of the Highland Light Infantry including Nathaniel. It shows ... Wallace, 41793 (Ecclefechan) .... Ecclefechan would be his / his next of kin home town / village.
Although it does not record a date of his wounding, it is accepted that the Casualty Lists normally reflect deaths and wounding's that occurred 4 to 6 weeks previous to the date of publication.
Regarding where he was when wounded ... a very quick look at the Battalion's war diaries show that they were in the Ypres (Belgium) area during September and October 1918.

There is a pension record which confirms that he was 41793 HLI, discharged on 11/3/1919 due to Gun Shot Wounds to his shoulder and chest.

As you say, sad but probably far from unusual -- I have seen this many times over the years that I have been researching WW1 soldiers.

Good luck with the war diaries ... I've already had a quick look for a three month period before his announcement in the London Gazette (21/10/1918) but haven't seen anything.

Am I correct in assuming that William George married Bertha Hallows??
If so, then they had a son, Eric, born in 1916 (birth registered Quarter 4, 1916, Prestwich District, Volume 8D, Page 519). If you purchase the birth certificate from the General Register Office, the father's occupation may well state Soldier and hopefully his regiment. Worth a shot in my humble opinion.
