Edinburgh newspaper article battle of Cambrai
« on: Monday 22 March 10 15:29 GMT (UK) »
Hi I am looking for help in finding a newspaper article & photo of a relative, Robert (Bert) Forsyth Brow.

My cousin tells me that there was an article & photo in an Edinburgh newspaper roughly around 18 March 1918.  It was possibly in other newspapers around that time too. We think the article is about the battle of Cambrai, 1917.

Could anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks.

Hi LinJ

Here is a link to the Edinburgh Central Library who hold copies of Edinburgh newspapers such as The Edinburgh Evening News.  If you are unable to visit the library yourself I think it is worth emailing them as I have often recieved help from emailing, (other), libraries, sometimes they have emailed me back the info, other times they've offered to photocopy an article for a nominal charge.
