Hi everyone
I am sorry that i have not been keeping up with this post and i now seem to have a backlog to catch up with. The good news is that i can now send pictures from the book .
I will PM anyone whose relations are in and arrange to send pics so anyone who doesn't hear from me can assume that the relevant info wasn't there.[sorry]. Feel free to make further enquiries as other relations may be in.
Thank you all for your patience.

Bougie

I'd like to take up your offer of looking for my ancestor in your book.  I came across an old family photo of 'Willie Archibald who died in 1917'.  I searched for him on the Commonwealth Graves website and discovered he was from Hawick.  He died after the RMS Aragon was torpedoed on 30/12/1917 off Alexandria, Egypt.

I'd love to have any other information about him.

Thanks so much.

Hi Bougie

Can I just say what a great job you are doing.

If it's possible could you look up my great uncles, Lance Corporal John (Jock) Charters of the Gordon Highlanders died 31/07/1917 and his brother Private Elliot Charters of 7th/8th Bn KOSB died 27/5/1918.

Thanks

Sabu1

John and Elliot Charters are both in the book. If you want pictures pm me your email address and i will send them.
It is absolutely no bother to do this and it is worth it when sometimes the people concerned have never seen a picture of this relation before. The many thanks that i get off everybody is my reward.

Thanks very much for this Bougie

 I will send you a pm but I was wondering if you could tell me how they died so that I can tell my mum?  I seem to remember that somebody in the family said that one of them died of pneumonia.  Any clues given.

Hi Bougie

My mum is also looking for information on her dad William J Whillans who she believes was in the Royal Garrison Artillery (possibly a Bombadier).

Any information would be gratefully received.

Best wishes
