First off i totally agree with you
"All those who gave their life must be remembered and so too those who survived."
On AN****RY in "British Army WWI Service Records, 1914-1920"  there are 18 images for William Grant (not William Harry Grant)from Aberdeenshire with the service record number 17009 and who's father was Alexander.

It is a great site for online memories, you can place poppies, where he was born, where he died or found his grave and more ...

You are allowed to tell his story and to upload photos. -
But you should do it when the whole paperwork is complete.
When you hit the final upload button no more edits are allowed.

Have a look on the FAQ of  above site, or on our thread (Reply #9 & other):

He is remembered by Scotland! Like all Scots or those who served in Scottish units he is listed at the Scottish National War Memorial within Edinburgh Castle and also on their website. Truly worth visting:

I have just typed a reply which disappeared into the ether!  Here I go again.

Many thanks to all for the recent replies and my apologies for not getting back sooner.  Other things need to be done. 

I have looked at the links and printed some off and got some more information. Of course this raised some more questions.

He was a POW and died of gunshot wounds to the abdomen.  Would he have been treated in a German field hospital and then buried by them as he was later exhumed and re buried?

Was there some arrangement where each side did this for the wounded and dead?
There really is so much more to this than I know.

Hopefully I can look at the 1911 census and see where he lived then.  Abernethy is a place often
mentioned.

Many thanks again.

Kind Regards

"He was a POW and died of gunshot wounds to the abdomen. Would he have been treated in a German field hospital and then buried by them as he was later exhumed and re buried?"
- I think the Etappen-Lazarett had been a better place than a Feldlazarett (field hospital). Valenciennes had been in a fixed building and the boss had been a doctor in the rank of a general. But gunshot wounds to the abdomen had been fatal wounds in this days (but I am not a M.D.)

"Was there some arrangement where each side did this for the wounded and dead?"
- Yes, and there had been exchanges of wounded soldiers - even via Switzerland.

Kind Regards
