Hi Sheena,

Very many thanks for your email and scanned attachments that included the picture and obituary of Walter Gerald Pringle.

Your information has proven to be a positive identification of the portrait that I have in my possession, and as you suggested is definiterly one and the same person and portrait - only difference being that the framed portrait I have has had the medal ribbons added to the tunic of Lieutenant Pringle.

Best wishes.

Yours aye,
Mark

Glad to be of help Mark.
I can only say that, after reading the obituary, Walter Gerald Pringle, deserved those medals.

Hi Bougie

Is it possible to look up in your book for my grandfather William Grant Smith who fought in WW1.

He was in the RFA no. 227836 and was awarded the military medal.
His parents had a licenced grosers shop in Hawick High Street,

Regards

Hi there,

Must be a very interesting book, when you have time could you look up Stewart and Watt from Hawick for me. The Watts would be Mark, Thomas and James or John not sure which, Mark Watt was my grandfather he died in 1923, 6 weeks before my mum was born so she never knew him, he died i believe due to the effects of gas posioning from the war. The Stewarts would be William and i'm not sure what other names. They all lived in Hawick, i dont even know what regiment any of them were in. I really have no information on them and i would love any information you can give me.
Many thanks Anne

Hi annejane
Sorry no Watts in book but their is a family of four Stewart brothers.
William, George, David and Walter. They lived at 20 Howegate Hawick, which interestingly was up the same close as my grandfathers family.
If you think this is the family you are looking for then send me a personal message with your email address and i will send them to you.

Hi there,
Thanks for you quick reply.
It probably is the correct Stewart family, as they did live in the west end of the town. My e-mail is (*). I'm trying to figure out how to PM a message to you.
Many thanks Anne
