William Shearer Greig.
During world war 1 he was a private in the 1st Gordon Highlanders (Number 8733 ) and must have been held as a prisoner of war, because I have a letter from King George, dated 1918, on Buckingham Palace notepaper, which welcomes him home on his release.

I know that during the early 1930's he was a fIreman on a steam drifter.

He died on active service during world war 2 and I found the following information on the war graves commission web site

William Shearer Greig

Date of Death: 18/09/1944
Age: 58

My mother was Jane (known as Jean) Lawrie Greig, the daughter of William and Barbara Ann Greig She married William Robert Cordiner, in Peterhead in 1956.

We had your Mum as Jean born 13 Apr 1934.
The friend we have done the family tree for is Fiona, daughter of your Mums sister Mabel.
We are in Australia, are you in Scotland ?

Yes, you have the correct date for my mothers birth. I did know that it was Fiona you were acting for. I am Fiona's cousin Robbie.

Hi, I am looking for information on Robert Lamond who is mentioned in your post. He is my husband's grandfather and we know very little about him as he was killed in WWII and my father-in-law did not ever meet him. We know he was born 15/08/1909 and ended up at Hadleigh Farm in Essex for a while before emigrating to New Zealand in 1927 at the age of 17. He worked at several farms in NZ before enlisting in the army - he was killed in action in Crete in 1940. I am aware of his two half-sisters Barbara and Jane and have found a little information on Barbara's family but what we are really looking for is a photo if any of the family have anything.

Several years ago, my mother asked if I could find out where Robert Lamond was buried. All that she could tell me was that he was killed in Crete during WW2. The only reference I could find was private 4952 Robert Lamond of the New Zealand Infantry who was killed in action on 20/05/1941 and is mentioned on face 13 of the Athens memorial, I could not find a grave. However the New Zealand connection made me abandon this search, I had  assumed that I was looking a soldier in a Scottish regiment.
