Gazetted Second Lieutenant to the Royal Scots Proceeded to France Promoted Lieutenant Killed in action while on duty in a gap between two trenches His Colonel wrote : ' I had a great admiration for the boy.He was universally popular. We should have considered ourselves very fortunate to get him to come into the Regiment permanently. He was such a delightful type of an English gentleman , I often used to think when I looked at him.' another wrote: ' He was very popular with everyone in the Battalion and especially with his own platoon. Although he was a strict disciplinarian and insisted on things being thoroughly done , he always did the most dangerous work himself, such as going to the front of his trench to put up the barbed wire, with the result that his men had absolute confidence in him. He did some particularly daring sniping work, which resulted in his being twice grazed by the German snipers, once on the head. For this work his name was sent to the General.' |
