This is a photo of my grandfather, Robert Brookmyre, 1895 - 1973. He was with the Royal Scots and was wounded in France in 1915. When he came back from the war he was never able to bend one of his legs due to extensive shrapnel wounds. He was lucky not to have the leg amputated. He lived in Cross Arthurlie Street, George Street and for many years in Carnock Crescent. Like many others, he also worked at Shanks,My dad told me that when his leg was injured, all those around him were killed. They were going to amputate his leg but a Canadian Doctor said he could save it.He was. I remember him as being very quiet, almost shy. He would take me for walks along to Johnny Blues well, carrying a little shot glass in his jacket. He used to sing Mademoiselle from Armentieres to me.
Merle says to thank you all for being most kind
Cheers Matt
