Introduction
This list of personnel has been compiled whilst researching A history of the 9th Battalion
Royal Scots, and forms an index of various sources. Users are in all cases directed to the
source information.
I hope it will be of some use to those researching family members. Please be aware that there
is considerable room for error in a list such as this, and sincere apologies are expressed for
any errors that may be found.
Similarly, this index points at a lot of other people’s hard work, and their publications should
always be viewed to see the information in its original form. If you wish something deleted,
or would like an attribution changed, please contact me.
Corrections, clarifications and additions are all welcome to [email protected]
1. Names are for the 9th Bn Royal Scots including 2/9th and 3/9th, attached etc.
2. The left hand column of the list contains an alphabetical list of surnames and
information. The right hand column provides a reference, listed below under
“Sources,” or “-” where a direct weblink or source is provided in the main text box
3. Names therefore often appear more than once, from different sources. These may not
always be grouped together, for example where the surname is followed by either
initials or a full forename the same man may appear on different pages. Different
spellings are also evident, some surnames are quoted single- or double-barrelled, such
as Haddon or Ross Haddon, and with and without a hyphen, like Henderson
Hamilton. Other variations can be found with names such as McEwen and MacEwen,
or de Berry. To find a piece of text, press Ctrl and F to open a search box
4. Some of the original hand written text or print is not clear so errors may have been
introduced by eye or by scanning to text, in all instances the reader is directed to the
original and to the image rather than the scanned text version
5. Speculative connections are preceded by “?”

Mr Thomson Lawrie, Bridgend Bathgate, is notified killed in action on 20th
September. He served his time as a clerk in the goods office, Upper Bathgate
Station, and then went to Shettleston, at which station he was when, in June 1916,
he joined up. He went to France in October 1916. He was the recipient of an official
card signed by Major-General George Harper, congratulating the young soldier on
the gallantry displayed by him on 23rd April 1917. Sergeant-Major D Walker,
writing under date 25th September, to Mr Lawrie says: - Dear Mr Lawrie, it is with
the deepest regret that I have to break the painful news to you that your son Robert
was killed in action on 20th September. The battalion was taking part in an attack
upon the enemy’s positions and our company had arrived at its objective when a
shell burst and a small piece struck Robert in the forehead, killing him
instantaneously. It may be a little comfort to know that he never suffered any pain,
as he passed away immediately. Robert acted as batman to me, and assisted in the
Sergeant’s Mess, and I can assure you he was a great favourite with us all, and the
sergeants all joined with me in sending their deepest sympathy to you in your great
loss. D Walker Sergt-Maj.

Lawrie, T.H of Polmont ?
2/Lt RS was the younger son of Dr T Harcourt Lawrie and Mrs Lawrie, Blairbank,
Polmont. About to start medicine (see magazine for further details…) when in
May 1916 he enlisted as pte at the age of eighteen. He was soon selected for
comm, sent to the front in April of this year and fell in action 25th July in his
twentieth year. The circumstances of his death related by his friend and
schoolfellow WM Robertson (qv) who was among the first to go to his help when
struck, and who survived him but by a few days. He was with his platoon when the
enemy put down a terrific barrage of heavy shells. He was struck on the head by a
fragment of shell which pierced his steel helmet, and died at the aid post within
half an hour. He was buried in full fighting kit on a spot overlooking the battlefield
which his devotion and self-sacrifice had helped to win back from the enemy.
A fine, spirited boy, a genuine sportsman….CO writes: “officers and men alike
had the very greatest admiration and respect for his gallantry and his great
capacity as a leader” and a fellow officer declares that a better and nobler boy
never lived.

2462 Pte. Alexander Cameron Lindsay
Lindsay joined the Royal Scots at Edinburgh on the outbreak of war in August
1914. Arriving with the unit in France in February 1915. The 9th served as a part
of the 27th Division, 8th Brigade BEF.
Lindsay was engaged at the Second Battle of Ypres April 22, 1915 where his
regiment was heavily involved. They were a member of the famous ‘Geddes
Detachment’ that assisted in the attack on Mauser Ridge on April 23, 1915. The
9th Royal Scots are shown as suffering heavily in this assault, those who survived
the initial action withdrew due to severe losses.
It was in this action that 19-year-old Alexander Cameron Lindsay was killed in
action.
Du Ruvigny’s Memorial book records: ‘…was killed in action during the 2nd
Battle of Ypres April 23, 1915, while helping a wounded school fellow after being
twice wounded himself. Buried at St. Jean, two and half miles N.E. of Ypres.’
Despite being buried by his pals, Lindsay’s remains were not recovered after the
war and his name is therefore commemorated on the Menin Gate Memorial for the
missing.

Recollections of daughter: RSL recalled when they were ‘gassed’ he said it was
like men were drowning all around him. He also recalled that men died from
infection where there mud laden kilts rubbed into sores in the soldiers legs causing
blood poisoning . There is also a story of the horses getting coated with ?jeyes
fluid to camouflage the white ones. Finally he recalled tripping over the Prince of
Wales feet in the trenches when delivering a document and telling him to ‘keep
your bloody feet in man’ before realising who it was!
He said of his MC that they just handed them out’

The Scotsman 23.3.15 has a letter from a ‘young W.S.’ which could be RSL?
The letter is dated 15.3.15 and he describes parading for trenches at 6pm Friday =

1900. A ‘kilted’ volunteer battalion, it was known as the ‘Dandy Ninth’. Only 10

“My Grandmother told me the story of how "uncle" was so badly wounded in
battle that he was left for dead. Legend has it that he was taken to a make shift
mortuary, laid out on a slab, pronounced dead, and then placed in a coffin. They
were just about to place the lid down when it was realised he was barely alive.
After a long recovery he is believed to have lived a long life.” Brum84
“Tom Lowe was born in 1872 in Ancoats, Manchester, son of Matthew and Mary
Lowe. Family story is he joined up at 16, we also cannot find him in the GH for
India, but a Cpl T Lowe appears in South Africa, wounded in 1900 and possibly
invalided out, so possibly him. There is a letter from him in August 1916 in his
older brother Matthew Lowe's service record (he was KIA 1-7-16 on the Somme)
enquiring about what happened to him, the corner is missing but is signed off Sgt
Major T Lowe 2/9th.....another story is he served as a Captain the Argyle and
Sutherland Highlanders, possible but a bit old in that's after 1916, no service
record or MIC matches, Militia records from the 1890's could be him, but nothing
that matches the photo.
We have been told he married twice and had 10 daughters, and lived in Princess
Street Edinburgh. Also he taught PT at the Grammar School there, fits in with
crossed swords on the uniform and also taught the deaf and dumb in Edinburgh.
Tom joined up in 1891, 3rd militia battalion, Kings own royal lancaster regiment.
From family it appears he was stabbed, possibly around this time, and there was a
lot of trouble, he went to Scotland and joined the 1st Gordon Highlanders in 1892,
by the look of it under a false name, served in india until 98. The photo would date
from 98 or 99, badges etc as discussed. Then under his real hame and a cpl serves
in south africa in 99 and 00. Wounded doornkop 29 May 1900. Invalded and
started working as a master at the royal high school in Edinburgh, teaching gym,
fencing and drill enlisted in 9th Royal Scots in 1900, Colour sgt in September
1914, csm feb 1915 rsm in june 1915 with 2/9th royal scots . 29 nov 1916 goes to
France as T wo1 draft conducting France. Got the war medal and tf war medal.
Number 56 so 1900 enlistment, longer number from 1917, carried on at the school
into 1930 s. Married twice, 1901 and 1905, 4 girls last one died in 1995.
he is in various school directorys over many years and the roll of honour.
my uncle Tom is still remembered fondly by older family members, and died in
1956” mattlucas19141918
“he is recorded in the South Africa Medal Roll under his genuine name (CPL T
Lowe) with the 1st Bn. Gordon Highlanders, service number 4351 with clasps for
Paardeberg, Dreifontein, Johannesburg and Cape Colony and it is specifically
recorded that he was 'invalided'.
As aforementioned, there appears to be no record of a T Lowe having served in
India with the Gordons, however if you conduct a search using the same service
number (4351), rather than the surname; you will find that a LCPL T Hill is
recorded with that identical service number in the 1st Gordon Highlanders and
entitled to the India Service Medal with clasps for the Punjab and Tirah.
So maybe he did join up under a false name (Hill) or a mistake has been made (?)
Corporal T Lowe' 4351 of the 1st Bn. Gordon Highlanders, he is recorded in the
casualty lists published by the Birmingham Daily Post d.d. 6th June 1900 as
'severely wounded'.” Ron Abbott

LYON, W.S.S. Lieutenant who was killed in action on 8th May, 1915, was
educated at Hailybury and Balliol College, Oxford, where he was a member of the
O.T.C. and in his College Shooting Eight. He afterwards studied law at Edinburgh
University, and was called to the Bar. He joined the Royal Scots, and at the
outbreak of war was appointed Captain on the staff, but resigned the post to join
the Royal Scots at the Front. He is believed to have been the first advocate killed
in action since Flodden. There has recently been published a posthumous volume
of verse by him, ‘Easter at Ypres. 1915.’ Named from four poems in it, which he
wrote in the trenches. Killed. The Leather Sporran, Vol. 1, No.2, 1st November

Lyon, Walter Scott Stuart 8.5.15 1886-1915
Father: Architect
Admitted to Faculty Dec 1912. Educ.: Haileybury, Balliol College, Oxford,
Edinburgh University
Lieutenant Lyon was the first Advocate to be killed in action in the war, beating
James Clark to that unwanted distinction by a mere two days. The Scotsman
declared that Lyon was the first Advocate to be killed on the field of battle since
Flodden; nobody has since rebutted that declaration, but it seems an unlikely
claim.
Lyon also had the distinction of being a War Poet of some talent. His best known
poem “I tracked a dead man down a trench” was published posthumously in 1916
in his book “Easter at Ypres 1915”
He was born at Springfield, North Berwick in 1886. His father was an Architect,
who practised mainly in England but who had offices in India Street, Edinburgh as
well as a base in Dumfries – one of his surviving designs is for Findynate House,
Aberfeldy. However, Lyon‟s father died when he was eight and his mother‟s
address by 1911 was Tantallon Lodge, North Berwick.
He was educated at Haileybury College along with his four brothers. He then went
up to Balliol College, Oxford, to study Classics, followed by Edinburgh
University for his law degree; he graduated LLB in 1912, and was admitted to the
Faculty in December of that year.
He was a sub-warden of the Edinburgh University Settlement, the Charity run by
the University to this day.
His military career commenced at Haileybury where he was a cadet in the OTC
from 1902 to 1905; he continued in the Oxford University OTC; and he joined 9th
Royal Scots (“The Dandy Ninth” or the “Highlanders”) in 1910, and by 1913 was
promoted Lieutenant. In August 1914 he was mobilised, and his battalion, based in
East Claremont Street, Edinburgh, landed in France at Le Havre on 26 February
1915. He had obtained a job as Staff Captain in the Lothian Brigade, Edinburgh,
but did not want to stay at home when his friends were at the front, and managed
to transfer back to his battalion, even though he lost his position as Captain. In
France, he would have fought shoulder to shoulder with James Ferguson, Junior,
whose father (James Ferguson, Senior) had helped found the battalion in 1900. In
the early part of the war the battalion fought with the 81st Brigade in the 27th
Division.
His poem “Easter at Ypres;1915” was written in a dug out called “Mon Privilege”
in Glencorse Wood near Ypres between 9th and 10th April 1915; “Lines written in
a Fire Trench” was written the next day again near Glencorse Wood; and other
poems were written near Ypres on 16th April, and in trenches by Glencorse Wood
on 19th-20th April. Glencorse Wood was named by Royal Scots troops, as their
Regimental Headquarters was at Glencorse Barracks, Penicuik.
On 8th May 1915 9th Royal Scots were in dugouts in Potijze Wood near the
Menin Road, just behind the front line, some distance from Glencorse Wood.
Fierce shelling was uprooting what was left of the trees, and shrapnel was
shattering the tree tops, causing deadly shards of wood to fly into the troops on the
ground. Lyon was killed instantaneously while tending a wounded man during
what is now called the Battle of Frezenberg Ridge, part of the 2nd Battle of Ypres.
The British line fell back as much as two miles, but much of this ground was
recovered later by Canadian troops.
Lyon was mentioned in Despatches on 23rd April by Major Ewing, later to write
the official history of the Royal Scots. The citation states: - "C Company had come
to a halt behind a hedge which was so thickly girt with barbed wire that men could
not break through without great labour. Noticing this, Lieutenant Lyon very coolly
stood up and, taking out his wire cutters, began to make gaps. Machine guns
played with him, but without any sign of haste he proceeded with his task, never
stopping until he had rendered the hedge penetrable."
The official history of the Royal Scots describes the events of the day he died as
follows-
“On 8th May the storm broke out anew. Our trenches north of the Menin Road were
subjected to a terrific and fiendishly accurate bombardment, which smashed in the
parapets and obliterated entire sections of the defenders. South of the Menin Road,
the shelling also caused several casualties. Lt. Lyon, who had distinguished himself
by his cool daring on 23rd April, was among the victims.”
The widowed Mrs Lyon lost three of her six sons in the war. Before the war, one
of her sons had died at birth, and one died at Haileybury. Her son Alexander was a
regular soldier, and was killed on 27th August 1914 – one of the very first
casualties of the war. Another son, Charles was killed in November 1914. The
only survivor of the six was the Reverend William Towers Lyon, who was the
Rector of St Fillan‟s Episcopal Church, Kilmacolm. Even he died young, in 1922,
aged only 37. Mrs Lyon, having survived her husband and her sons, died at North
Berwick in November 1933. After the war, she had been granted the Freedom of
the Royal Burgh of North Berwick for her war work. She also commissioned a
painting by Patrick Adam called "Poppy Fields, Flanders" that is now in the
ownership of East Lothian Council.
Walter Lyon is remembered on the Menin Gate, Ypres, along with one of his
brothers. He is also remembered on the North Berwick war memorial with two of
his brothers.
He is also remembered on a memorial in Christ Church, Lanark, gifted by his mother
and his surviving brother, who was the Rector of that church. Church records seem
to hint at some sort of breakdown by the Rector in 1917, understandable given the
decimation of his family.

Lieutenant Walter Scott Stuart Lyon, Royal Scots, a War Poet, killed in action, 8
May 1915 1914-15 Star (Lieut., R. Scots); British War and Victory Medals (Lieut.)
nearly extremely fine (3) £400-500 Walter Scott Stuart Lyon was born on 1 October
1886, at North Berwick. He was the son of Walter F. K. Lyon. In 1905 he went up
to Oxford from Haileybury, and read Classics. He came down in 1909 to begin his
professional training in Edinburgh, where he graduated in Law and in 1912 he was
admitted an Advocate. He was then for some years Sub-Warden of the Edinburgh
University Settlement. He was gazetted a 2nd Lieutenant on 14 December 1909,
and posted to the 9th Battalion Royal Scots, being promoted to Lieutenant on 17
December 1912. When war broke out he was appointed Staff-Captain to the Lothian
Brigade. He rejoined his battalion in France in March 1915. Major John Ewing,
writing about the 2nd Battle of Ypres in his history of the Royal Scots , described
the following incident on 23 April 1915: ôCö Company had come to a halt behind
a hedge which was so thickly girt with barbed wire that men could not break through
without great labour. Noticing this, Lieutenant Lyon very cooly stood up and, taking
out his wire-cutters, began to make gaps. Machine-guns played on him, but without
any sign of haste he proceeded with his task, never stopping until he had rendered
the hedge penetrable. Later in his book, Ewing wrote: On 8th May the storm broke
out anew ... South of the Menin Road the shelling was not so continuous or relentless
as it was farther North, but it caused several casualties among the 9th Royal Scots.
Lieutenant Lyon, who had distinguished himself by his cool daring on 23rd April,
was among the victims. Lieutenant Walter Scott Stuart Lyon was killed in action on
8 May 1915, aged 28 years. Having no known grave, his name is commemorated
on the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial. He was said to be the first member of the
Scottish Bar to fall in action in the Great War and perhaps the first Advocate to fall
in action since the battle of Flodden. Lieutenant Lyon was one of the War Poets.
After his death, his poems were published in a volume called Easter at Ypres. With
copied research and a copy of the article, Some Great War Lyon Toffs and Toughs,
by Dan Lyon, which appeared in the O.M.R.S. Journal of June 2009.

Lyon, Walter Scott Stuart, Lt, an Oxford graduate and Scottish advocate, -
volunteered and joined the 9th Bn The Royal Scots. He was killed in Potijze
Wood, near Ypres after fierce enemy shelling. He has no known grave and his
name is listed on the Menin Gate. He was 28 years old. During his experience at
the front, he wrote several moving poems and can claim his place among Britain's
war poets. 3 of the 4 surviving Lyon brothers were killed in France within the first
9 months of the war. They were brought up by their widowed mother Isabella
Lyon in a house in York Road, North Berwick. Walter's brothers were Patrick
Lyon, Gordon Highlanders and Capt. Charles James Lyon. R.S. Fusiliers. The
three brothers names are on a wooden memorial in St. Baldred's Church in North
Berwick. North Berwick exhibition, August 2014.

Walter Scott Stuart Lyon, son of Walter F.K. Lyon, was born at North Berwick on
October 1, 1886. He came up to Oxford from Haileybury in 1905, and took the
Classical course. In College he was extremely silent and reserved, and probably
suffered a good deal from solitude : Oxford is sometimes unconsciously cruel to
some of her sons. Yet he was no unworthy son, and when he went down in 1909
not only began his professional training in Edinburgh (where he was admitted an
Advocate and graduated in law in 1912), but devoted himself keenly to the
Edinburgh University Settlement, of which he was for some years Sub-Warden.
All the while the real poetic gift that was in him was expressing itself in short
occasional poems, though it was only after his death that they were published in
the volume called Easter at Ypres, after one of the most significant of them. They
are on many subjects – one or two expressive of the pain of his own loneliness;
several in a melancholy vein on the fall of the year; many verses written under the
spell of beauty of Italy and Italian art; a few composed in the trenches; and a very
charming little “Dedication.”
In 1910 he joined the 9th Battalion of the Royal Scots, and became Lieutenant in
1913. When war broke out he was appointed Staff-Captain to the Lothian Brigade.
In March 1915 he joined his Battalion at Ypres, and on May 8 he was killed in
action instantaneously. He is said to have been the first member of the Scottish
Bar to fall in the war, and even the first advocate to fall in action since Flodden
Field.

Adam, (W.S.), Edinburgh.
He served during the Great War in France from 3 August 1916 with “A”
Company, 1/9th Battalion, Royal Scots, and was wounded on 9 April 1917, dying
of wounds the following day at 42 Casualty Clearing Station, France, aged 31. He
is buried at Aubigny Communal Cemetery Extension, France. He is also
commemorated on the University of Edinburgh, Radley College, Edinburgh
Academy and Brunstfield Links Golfing Society Limited War Memorials. A
personal memorial tablet was erected in the church on the Isle of Eigg, which
reads “In loving memory of David Campbell MacEwen, 2nd Lieutenant, 9th
Battalion Royal Scots, who was mortally wounded in the Battle of Arras April
17th, 1917 aged 37.” A final memorial to him was presented to the Battalion by
his mother: “In February 1930, on the 15th anniversary of the battalion’s departure
to France, Mrs Margaret MacEwan and the late Mr William MacEwan, W.S., in
memory of 2nd Lieutenant David Campbell MacEwan, who was killed in action
on April 9, 1917 presented a set of drums with all of the battle honours of the
regiment from 1680.” A history of the 9th Battalion Royal Scots, N. Gilhooley,
refers.
Sold together with a most elaborate display frame, comprising a paper covered
frame, which has been hand painted in an art nouveau style, with a classical scene
to top of frame, and signed by the artist ‘Theodore Roussel’, the frame glazed to
both sides, one side containing the recipient’s Memorial Scroll, this named ‘2nd lt.
David Campbell McEwen, Royal Scots’, and the other side containing the
Buckingham Palace enclosure; a superb coloured portrait photograph of recipient
in uniform; and three biographical panels:
‘David Campbell, eldest son of William Campbell MacEwen, W.S., and Margaret
Croall was born on October 20th, 1885. He was a Writer to the Signet when the
war began in August 1914. He was very anxious to join the army but owing to his
defective sight, did not obtain his commission in the 9th Battalion, The Royal
Scots until 14th December 1915. David went to France on August 1st, 1916 and
joined his battalion. It formed part of the 51st (Highland Territorial) Division
which was taking part in the operations on the Somme. In November, he went
through the successful action at Beaumont Hamel, which was stormed and
captured. In this, his Division, composed entirely of Scottish troops, took the
leading part.
It was in the early morning of 9th April 1917 whilst leading his Platoon against the
German trenches in the assault which opened the Battle of Arras that he was
mortally wounded. He was taken to the Casualty Clearing Station at Aubigny ten
miles from Arras where he passed away on April 10th. He was buried in the little
communal cemetery at Aubigny on 13th April.
His life-long friend who was with David during his last two months of service
writes: “David was a born Highlander and held it to be a privilege that his service
in the Army should be in a Highland Battalion. Of an exceptional cheerful
temperament, he attracted all who met him and had many friends in civil life. In
the Army, he was the same. It seemed as if not even the most trying of war
conditions could damp his natural good spirits. They carried him through to the
last and won for him a deep friendship with his brother officers and his own men.
As a soldier, he showed splendid nerve and a fine example of fearlessness. It was
typical of him that at the times his men were exposed to dangers he was always
with them and refused to take advantage of any shelter which they could not
share.’

MACFARLANE, A. Hunter. 2nd Lieutenant, who was killed in action near Ypres -
on 12th May, 1915, was the younger son of the Hon. Lord Ormidale. He was born
on 14th June, 1894, and was educated at Edinburgh Academy and at Balliol
College, Oxford, where he had just concluded his second year and commenced the
study of medicine when the war broke out. He was gazetted to the Royal Scots
early in October, 1914, and was chosen to go with the first draft of officers sent
out to join the Service Battalion. On arrival in France he went straight up to the
firing line and fell after two nights in the front trench. Killed. The Leather

1912-14
Alastair Hunter Macfarlane, younger son of the Honourable Lord Ormidale, was
born at Edinburgh in 1894. When he came up to Balliol from the Edinburgh
Academy in 1912 he had already decided to make medicine his career, and by
August 1914 he had made a promising start in his medical studies, thanks to his
quiet efficiency, good sense and steadiness of purpose. At school he was a good
three-quarter, but a torn muscle in his thigh kept him out of the XV and prevented
him from playing football at Oxford. He was a good rifle shot, keen about fishing
and shooting, and the sworn ally of ghillies and keepers.
He was gazetted Second Lieutenant in the Royal Scots in October 1914 and joined
the 2/9th (Highlanders) Battalion of his regiment. After six month’s training at
home he was chosen as one of the first draft of officers sent to the 9th Battalion in
Flanders on May 1, 1915. He reached the firing line on May 11, and his first day
in the trenches near Ypres was a very trying experience, as they were under
continuous and heavy shell fire, “but,” wrote his C.O., “Alastair stuck it out well
and never was in the least perturbed.” He was killed by a stray bullet on the
following afternoon, a month before his twenty-first birthday. He was buried at
Sanctuary Wood, next to W.S.S. Lyon, another old Balliol man in the same
regiment who had fallen four days previously.
Alastair had a most lovable personality. His gentle courtesy, admirable good
nature, and consideration for others endeared him to many friends at school, at
Oxford, and in his battalion. But beneath his gentleness of manner there was the
determination and the high sense of duty, which made him so good an officer, and
would certainly have won for him distinction in his profession had he been spared.

to tell us that he had succeeded in getting into the battalion on which he had set his
heart. Having been at school a member of the Cadet Corps and a good shot, he
took kindly to a soldier’s life and soon qualified as a marksman. Early in 1917 he
was drafted to France, where he worthily upheld the reputation of his old school
and the honour of his country. He fell in action on 9th April 1917.
A quiet, almost shu boy with a pleasanr smile, he was a great favourite with his
fellow students amd with his comrades-in-arms as he head been with his
schoolmates. In him has been lst a born artist, one who gave signs of great promise
in his short career. Only nineteen years of age when he fell, his name is added to
that honourable roll of those who have given their lives for their country in the
cause of truth and righteousness.

Robert Roy MacGregor On the wall to the right as you enter The Royal Scots Club
through the door of No. 29 Abercromby Place, hangs an imposing portrait of a
young soldier who enlisted in the 2nd/9th Royal Scots in November 1914. The
painting is by Robert Burns (1869-1941) who at the time was Director of Painting
at the Edinburgh College of Art. The painting was presented to the Regiment and
then the Club, by Robert Roy MacGregor's family. Robert Roy MacGregor faked
his age by saying that he was in his seventeenth year, when he was actually two
months short of his birthday. Following induction, he joined the Battalion for
basic training in Kilmarnock and, by September 1915 he had been commissioned
2nd Lieutenant with the 2nd/8th Royal Scots at Chelmsford in Essex. By 1917, he
was in the Machine Gun Corps in France and was gassed in the trenches at Arras.
Following his recovery, he was sent to the Near East and saw action in Greece,
Palestine and Egypt. On 1 April 1918 [RAF formed on this date], he was
commissioned into the RAF, where he finished his military career on 7 November
1919 with the rank of Captain. Following his demobilisation, Captain MacGregor
did not spend time at home in Scotland but sailed on the RMS Cedric, bound for
New York. His first job was in the movies at the Lasky Studio. However, he
struggled to settle and by the spring of 1921 was found to be working in a gold
mine in Alaska. It was here that he took up training to become an accountant. In
1922, he set off to California and settled in San Francisco, where he met his wife.
They went on to have five children and finally settled in Connecticut, where they
lived until their deaths: Captain MacGregor's in July 1963. He only returned to
Scotland twice, once in 1928, so that his parents could meet their granddaughter,
and again in 1933 on the death of his mother. [OCR]

Mackay, Alastair Sutton, was born 7 December 1889. Before joining the -
Commission he saw previous service with ‘S.B.D (London)’ from May 1910 until
July 1912. He joined the Commission on 16 July 1912 as Assistant Clerk on a sal-
ary of £65, and was killed in action on 29 April 1915 during the second battle of
Ypres.
There is a gravestone in a cemetery at Rosskeen, Ross & Cromarty which tells of a
family ravaged by tragedy. The stone was raised by William and Flora Mackay of
High Street, Invergordon to commemorate “Our dear children”. After Alastair’s
death in 1915, his brother Falconer died at the Northern Infirmary in 1919 as a
result of wounds received at Arras two years earlier. Falconer was 23 years old.
The stone also commemorates their sister, Agnes, who died in 1923. Their parents
survived them all.
2113 Alastair Sutton Mackay served with ‘A’Coy, 9th Battalion The Royal Scots
and is commemorated on the Menin Gate, one of four memorials to the missing
located in the Ypres salient. The Menin Gate bears over 54,000 names. Alastair
was originally interred at Hooge Cemetery near Ypres. The cemetery was
subsequently destroyed in a bombardment, and his remains lost.

WILLIAM MAY 1895 -1918
William May was 23 when faced with Conscription in 1916 after the introduction
of the Military Service Act forced all men between 18 and 41 into the Army.
William was a member of the International Bible Students Association, now the
Jehovahs’ Witnesses, a sect that held a longstanding opposition to war, and it was
this Christian belief that inspired him to become a Conscientious Objector.
Unusually for a Firs World War CO, William had volunteered for military service
before the war, and had spent four years in the 9th Batallion of the Royal Scots. It
is likely that after his time in the Army, William either converted or reaffirmed his
faith as IBSA members believed that they should endeavour to be “separate from
the world”, and that this meant that they could not follow any civil law that
contradicted religious law - especially military service.
William took this stand to his local Tribunal in Arbroath, where he was granted
Exemption from Combatant Service (ECS) only, the most common verdict given
to COs by Tribunals, and one that William, along with thousands of others,
rejected. Accepting ECS would mean accepting conscription and being sent to the
Army as a soldier - albeit in a non-combatant role. William’s faith meant that he
could not accept any position in the military and so he decided to refuse orders,
knowing that punishment would result. It did on the 19th of June 1916 when he
faced a court martial in Hamilton barracks and was sentenced to four months hard
labour.
Out of the hands of the military, William was sent to Barlinnie Prison, where his
sentence was brought to an end by a Central Tribunal hearing on the 31st of
August. The Central Tribunal met in prisons in England, Scotland and Wales to
hear the cases of COs imprisoned for military offences, not to grant them
exemption, but to judge whether or not they were suitable for the Home Office
Scheme (HoS). A favourable verdict from the Central Tribunal - which William
received - would see a CO transferred to the HoS and out of prison, put to work in
one of the many labour camps set up for COs around the country.
William was transferred out of prison and onto the HoS in November 1916, and
was sent initially to Wakefield, before he was moved to a HoS camp closer to
home, in Broxburn, West Lothian. He stayed at Broxburn Camp until mid 1918
when, with decreasing restrictions on the employment of Conscientious Objectors,
he was transferred to what was known as “exceptional employment” at the shale
works, for increased pay, in marginally normal conditions. It was at the shale
works that he had a fatal accident while working with the railway wagons that
accompanied the shale processing plant. He was found dead on October 2nd 1918.
William, along with 69 of the more than 100 Conscientious Objectors who died
during the First World War is commemorated on the Conscientious Objector
memorial plaque, today hanging in the offices of the Peace Pledge Union. His
name is engraved under the phrase “It is by the faith of the idealist that the ideal
comes true”, which stands as a testament to the aims and purpose of all those who
resisted, and resist, war.

Mr. William McAlpine received official intimation that his son was reported
wounded and missing on the 23rd April 1917, he was given no further details.
Kenneth was last seen by a chum retiring from the firing line wounded and going
to the dressing station under a heavy fire. Nothing being heard of him since, it was
feared he had been hit by a shell.
Kenneth appears on The United Collieries Limited, active service roll 1914-19,
this shows him as being employed at Bathville Colliery. It does not state anything
about him being killed.

David Campbell McEwen died of wounds in France and Flanders whilst serving
with “A” Company, 1/9th Battalion, Royal Scots. He is buried at Aubigny
Communal Cemetery Extension, France.
Sold with a most elaborate display frame, comprising a paper covered frame,
which has been hand painted in an art nouveau style, with a classical scene to top
of frame, and signed by the artist ‘Theodore Roussel’, the frame glazed to both
sides, one side containing the illuminated memorial scroll, and the other the
Buckingham Palace scroll; and a superb coloured portrait photograph of recipient
in uniform; together with the following neatly ink’written text inserted in three
panels:
‘David Campbell, eldest son of William Campbell MacEwen, W.S. and Margaret
Croall was born on October 20th, 1885. He was a Writer to the Signet when the
war began in August 1914. He was very anxious to join the army but owing to his
defective sight, did not obtain his commission in the 9th Battalion, The Royal
Scots until 14th December 1915. David went to France on August 1st, 1916 and
joined his battalion. It formed part of the 51st (Highland Territorial) Division
which was taking part in the operations on the Somme. In November he went
through the successful action at Beaumont Hamel, which was stormed and
captured. In this, his Division, composed entirely of Scottish troops, took the
leading part.
It was in the early morning of 9th April 1917 whilst leading his Platoon against the
German trenches in the assault which opened the Battle of Arras that he was
mortally wounded. He was taken to the Casualty Clearing Station at Aubigny ten
miles from Arras where he passed away on April 10th. He was buried in the little
communal cemetery at Aubigny on 13th April.
His life long friend who was with David during his last two months of service
writes: “David was a born Highlander and held it to be a privelege that his service
in the Army should be in a Highland Battalion. Of an exceptional cheerful
temperment he attracted all who met him and had many friends in civil life. In the
Army he was the same. It seemed as if not even the most rying of war conditions
could damp his natural good spirits. They carried him through to the last and won
for him a deep friendship with his brother officers and his own men.
As a soldier he showed splendid nerve and a fine example of fearlessness. It was
typical of him that at the times his men were exposed to dangers he was always
with them and refused to take advantage of any shelter which they could not
share.’

Mr and Mrs Andrew Merrylees, 36 David St, Kirkcaldy, have received news their
son, L/Cpl Thomas Merrylees 9RS has been awarded the Military Medal. The
official announcement states that much of the success of their operations in the
raid on the night of 16th-17th September was due to the determination displayed by
Merrylees and to the excellent patrol work carried out by him for about a fortnight
prior to the raid.
Card: ‘British Expeditionary Force. Gallantry on active service. I wish to
congratulate No. 3194 Lance-Corporal T. Merrylees, 1-9th Royal Scots, on the
gallantry displayed by him on 16th September, 1916. G.M. Harper, Major General,
Commanding Division.’
He was engaged with a Liverpool trading firm at Nigeria, on the west coast of
Africa, when war broke out, and enlisted in 9RS in April 1915. He has been at the
front since November last. Previous to coming to Kirkcaldy he resided with his
parents at 20 East Cottages, Granton.

353184 Cpl. E. W. Mildenhall, 11th Bn., R. Scots (Clapham). During the
withdrawal on the Somme he showed exceptional gallantry in the way he fought his
Lewis gun. He had it on the parapet and kept it in action all day, in one case defeating
the attempt of the enemy, who tried to advance. He also showed a splendid example,
walking about encouraging the men when all the officers and senior N.C.O.s had
become casualties.

“Sergt. Miller was responsible for the other glaring miss…one of Sinclair’s lovely
little passes enabled Miller to head through the leading goal. Before the finish the
“Dandy Ninth” man helped himself to another. In a tussle with Shingleton he
managed to get the ball past the goalkeeper… on the right wing, where Miller
played a clever forcing game” Heart of Midlothian (H at Tynecastle) 3 v Clyde 1

Lieutenant Eric Milroy, Black Watch (Royal Highlanders), was the son of the late
Alexander MacLeod Milroy, a Bank Agent, and Margaret Walteria Milroy, of 16
Abbotsford Park, Edinburgh. He was born in 1887 and entered George Watson’s
College in 1895. He was distinguished at School alike by his ability as a scholar,
his prowess at Myreside in the 1st XV of 1905-6, and his readiness as a debater in
the Literary Society. He also held the rank of Sergeant in the Cadet Corps. The
winner of an open bursary at Edinburgh University in 1906, he graduated MA with
Honours in Mathematics in 1910, thereafter commencing his apprenticeship as a
Chartered Accountant. A brilliant member of the Watsonian XV from 1906 to
1914, he played for Scotland in almost every International Match from 1910 to
1914, and toured with the British Team in S. Africa in 1910. Eric (Puss) Milroy
captained the Scottish Rugby Football Team of 1914, playing at scrum half.
Having made his debut against Wales on 5 February, 1910, he played his twelfth
and last match against England at Inverleith on 21 March, 1914. Scotland won 3
and lost 9 of his twelve matches. Joining the 9th Royal Scots from the Watsonian
Military Training Corps in September, 1914, he won speedy promotion, and in
January, 1915 was gazetted Second Lieutenant in the 11th Royal Highlanders. In
July, 1916 he gained his Lieutenancy and was attached to the 8th Royal
Highlanders as Lewis Gun Officer. Crossing to France in 1915, he was engaged in
the severe fighting in the Ypres salient. During the battle of the Somme he was
posted missing at Delville Wood in July, 1916, and was later presumed killed in
action. Eric Milroy was also the great uncle of Douglas Kinloch Anderson, the
present Chairman of Kinloch Anderson Limited.

Munro, S -
‘I believe he was a Lewis gunner - picked due to his marksmanship skills. He was
only 5' 3" (size 3 boots)... Kilsyth, his home town was an Argylls area, with a
strong territorial contingent, and in fact he ended up as Captain of the local cadet
force here after the war…Both his father and grandfather were provosts of the
town and JPs, and they had were also a large employer in the town. He lived in
Kilsyth all his life, and worked in the family buisness… I think he was the "wild
one" of the family, and was known as "Wee Rab".
I have a newspaper cutting from a court appearance in the thirties, he stated (under
oath) he had joined up under age - totally untrue, as he was 18 in 1914, and also he
had been an officer, but had "got into trouble and had been reduced". Also he
stated he spent 18 months in France, though I don't know if this would include the
time out wounded... He was not actually arrested - but was appearing in an inquest
(in Glasgow) due to him shooting and killing a burgular in his house (in Kilsyth).
It was quite a notorious incident in the town. In the write up of the case the
minutes of the hearing are interesting reading - as it questioned his war service,
and shooting skills. As he was by all accounts a pretty good marksman and taught
the local cadets all through the twenties. The gun was an automatic pistol (on a
forged licence) and was either a war suvenier or nicked from his days with the
cadet force. It is obvious (reading between the lines) he just shot this guy down at
close range in my Granny's kitchen, and didn't loose a lot of sleep over it (I
imagine my Gran did!), probably another direct consequence of his war
experience. He got off with it too, with basically just a telling off, and the gun
confiscated - the local police presented him with a truncheon and whistle to use in
future!’ grandson, David Murdoch
Great War Forum and NBW

reasons for this. He may have attempted to enlist earlier but rejected due to his
size/physique - he was barely 5'3" and size 3 boots. I'm pretty sure he did not drag
his heals about going - he was a wild one with a wee man attitude and all his
cousins served. I wondered at one point if he ended up as a Bantam but does not
appear to be the case. So it's possible he only enlisted later as they became less
fussy, or possibly taken when conscription came in. Either way I'm guessing he
only ended up in 9th Royal Scots as that is where they allocated him to. Perhaps
his service number would indicate when he joined, or if he was in fact conscripted,
if he shows up in any rolls.
He was wounded three times and some pictures show him with two wound stripes.
First time was a gunshot to the left wrist - his father had given him and "officer
style" wrist watch and this took the bullet but shattered his wrist - he had a bad
scar there. Second time he was cut across the side of the head by a piece of
shrapnel - also leaving a nasty scar. Third time be was caught in a grenade blast
and hit by fragments (though he may not have got a wound stripe for this one). In
old age he suffered from sinusitis, and when x rayed they found he had a grenade
fragment still in there. He has a stripe in some photos, but ended up as private - by
his own accounts he "got in trouble" more than once. Apparently he was a pretty
good shot and according to my father he was a lewis gunner.
Kirkintilloch Gazette 5/4/1918.
Robert Murdoch son of Baillie G. Murdoch has been slightly wounded and was
brought to hospital in Huddersfield. This could well relate to the photo of him with
arm in sling if his wrist was damaged, but not actually broken, and he mended
pretty quick. next to him with the bad finger is a Leeds Pal, and on the back is a
pencilled address from the Leeds area (need to check the back of the original
photo). So that likely dates this photo down to April 1918.
Kirkintilloch Gazette 17/5/1918
Pte R Murdoch 41238 Royal Scots, Kilsyth, wounded.
Sure two separate wounds and quite close together. Suggests the first was bad
enough to send him back to UK, but recovered pretty quickly.
-
Joined Argylls when 18 , transferred to RS when of age and sent to the front,
Served in France for abt 3 yrs.
-
My grandfather (by newspaper articles) joined the Argylls "aged 18", but only
went to war in spring 1917. He must have spent some time on home service then
embarked Folkstone to Boulogne 15/3/1917 was renumbered 41238 Royal Scots
at Etaples 16/3/1917 and allocated to 16th Royal Scots then almost certainly
posted to A Coy (In the field) 13/4/1917. He was wounded twice in quick
succession in spring 1918 - the wound in this photo was a result of taking a
German bullet on his wristwatch. He transferred to 9th Royal Scots either after
recovering or in August of 1918 when 16th was disbanded in France.

victory [Thielt at 14:28/15:28]
55 Sqn vs Js 18
It is worth pointing out that the 55 Sqn formation had bombed Melle (SE of
Ghent) some 60km over German lines – dropping 8, almost certainly 230LB
bombs, on the rail sidings. They were only harried by EA (Js 18), given as 8 or 10,
on the return leg, resulting in the two 55 Sqn OOC claims (see claims list).
The RPS data (TSTBF II) for A7530 tells us; poor engine, got behind, attacked by
two EA, engine hit, down smoking – crew burnt machine. Clearly credited to Js
18’s Obln Berthold; who was credited with a ‘BE’ given as diesseits as Thielt,
most definitely was.

William Ogilvie, architect, poet and artist
William Ogilvie was born in the 1890s. He studied architecture at Edinburgh
College of Art. He served with the Royal Scots during World War 1 for whom he
designed a bookplate (the 9th Battalion) in 1919. At that time he was living and
perhaps working at 10 Cameron Park.
Not long after demobilisation he set up in practice on his own account at Forres
Street, Edinburgh. In 1924 he was at 4 Forres Street, and in 1930 at 3 Forres Street;
the latter addresses are the same as those of the Mears & Carus-Wilson practice,
though his obituary states that he practised on his own account and not with Mears.
In his work as an architect Ogilvie favoured the Scottish domestic style which he
'adapted with success to modern housing needs'.
From about 1931 until 1934 he was a partner in the practice Taylor & Ogilvie.
Outwith his professional life, Ogilvie wrote poetry in the Scots vernacular. His work
has been published in a number of anthologies. He also enjoyed painting and was a
'shrewd judge of art'. He was a member of the Scottish Arts Club and spoke on
poetry throughout Scotland.
Ogilvie died on 30 January 1939.

took up the study of Indian and Colonial agricultuie, and in the prosecution
of his researches studied at Besancon, Jena and Guelph (Canada).
On the outbreak of war he was studying for his B.Sc. at the Edinburgh

whom Patrick had been very popular, and I assure you I feel his loss very keenly.
He was a lad I was proud to have in my platoon, a fellow Watsonian, and the first
Watsonian to fall in the Dandy 9th" He was a keen golfer and fisher, and a good
horseman, and one of the best shots in the regt.; but. above all, was a diligent
student. "If you want to find Patrick," wrote one of his comrades at the Front in the
few days of rest that fell to them, "go to the roofless library or convent ruins and
there you will find him rumaging amongst the old and shell-torn books, smoking
his pipe." His brother. Lieut. John Cairns Patrick, and also
ten of his cousins, are now (1916) on active service.

Dear Sir,
My son Frederick Wm Paulin, 2nd Lt in the 9th Royal Scots joined that battalion
early in August, and after six months training in this country was sent to the front.
He has now been two months in Flanders doing trench work. He had one narrow
escape. The bullet of a sniper swished between his legs when he was examining a
drain pipe in the trench with his electric lamp! So far no one in his platoon has
been killed or wounded. He writes home cheerily. I enclose a photo in uniform as
asked in your circular of 15th inst.
Yours truly
David Paulin.

very night we were down to be relieved after three weeks’ hard fighting without a
rest, and he and all of us were overjoyed at the prospect. Most unfortunately, about
6 p.m., he went out behind the trench to get some water to make tea with, when a

James Pearson was killed … near Sanctuary Wood in May 1915. He had played
rugby for Scotland before the war and one of his friends, Sgt RWF Johnstone,
recorded these words of his burial:
“One night, just after our relief from the front to the support line, I had to take
charge of a burial party for 3 of the Company who had been killed that day.
They included Jimmy Pearson, a famous Watsonian rugger player with a Scottish
cap, who was our company runner. At this early stage of the war, we were most
meticulous to ensure the correct burial of our comrades. We dug 3 shallow graves
in a plot set aside as a cemetery between Zouave and Sanctuary Wood, lined the
foot with sandbags, placing the bodies on them with their hands crossed in front.
More sandbags were placed on the face, hands and knees. Like us, they were
kilted soldiers and I noticed that Jimmy’s leather sporran was still on the body. I
removed it and wore it for many months…..The Padre read the short service and a
piper played “The Flowers of The Forest”, which was interrupted by a salvo of
shells,which caused all present to lie down very flat promptly until the
shelling ended.We heard the approach of the ration limbers and saw ourselves
srrounded by Very lights and the fires in Ypres behind us,and set off for our duties
with many poignant thoughts….”
James Pearson is buried in Sanctuary Wood.

Pearson, James, A son of Mr. R. Pearson, Edin., was born in 1889, entered G.W.C. GWC
in 1897 and left in 1907. He early developed a genius for athletic exercises, and at
an early age won his place in the School XI. He crowned his School athletic career
by being Champion at the Games in 1907. He won twelve International Rugby
caps, being chosen thrice against England, France, and Ireland, twice against
Wales, and against the S. Africans in 1913. 'Peary,' as he was called, was the finest
type of three-quarter produced by Watson's. Myreside still remembers the Angus
and Pearson combination. He was also a capital cricketer. He joined the Watsonian
Military Training Association on the outbreak of war, and almost immediately
thereafter the 9th R.S. He was shot by a sniper while going along the back of a
trench for water, and died May 22, 1915.

The battle history sheet doesn't reveal much more. It says that the two right gunners
were 'disabled' and that Doyle then withdrew the tank. The tank was then hit by
direct artillery fire as it made its way back towards the British line. Doyle then put
one of the wounded men into a C Battalion tank but this was then hit, although the
wounded man survived. There is no mention of Peattie by name but he must have
been one of the 'disabled' right gunners.

‘I found the birth record of Mary Lina White Porteous (b 18th Dec 1915 in
Dundee) and it records her father's occupation as prison warder.....and as Pipe-
Major of the 9th Royal Scots.
It is recorded that her father, Thomas Hood Porteous married Mary Alexander
Shiels on 26th Feb 1908 in Edinburgh. He was 27 at the time and his occupation
was recorded as coal miner. Residence then was in Tranent.
Pipe-Major Thomas Hood Porteous had been born in Tranent on 15th Dec 1880.
He died on 8th June 1962 at Queensberry House (hospital) in the Canongate.
(his wife, Mary Lina had passed away in Edinburgh aged 66 in 1942 at which time
they had been living at 5 Glendevon Park......when Pipe-Major Porteous passed
away in 1962, this was still the family residence).
You'll also find him in the various census records. Father's name was also Thomas
Porteous and his mother was Helen Porteous (nee Hood).
It looks like he may also have been the same man (regimental number 2775)
whose militia attestation papers dated 1900 can be found on FMP. He appears to
have been serving in the 7th Volunteer Battalion, Royal Scots as of 1900 and then
joined the Royal Garrison Artillery.
Of course it may not be the same man, but certainly the same name, age and town
of residence.’

Pipe Major Thomas Hood Porteous. His great grandparents were Thomas Porteous
(a seaman) and Jean/Jane Balleny who married on 16 October 1820 in
Prestonpans, East Lothian. Their daughter (my great great grandmother) Margaret
Porteous 1831-1895 married David Neill on 19 January 1863. However Margaret
appears to have had an illegitimate child 8 years before her marriage – Thomas
Porteous 1855-1900 (killed in a pit accident at Tranent). Thomas and Helen/Ellen
Hood (I can’t find a marriage record) had three children, one of whom was
Thomas Hood Porteous.

‘The Club records did give his address as “Balerno Station” which points to him
having either been the Station Master who had a house at the Station, or some
other railway employee who might also have had a tied house there. In those days
there was a line from the centre of Edinburgh through Slateford, Juniper Green
and Currie to Balerno. It’s now part of the Water of Leith walkway.’ Alex J Hood

rendered valuable service to the battalion as transport serjeant, getting his transport
up to the lines on every occasion, often under heavy shelling. He has, by his
personal behaviour under fire, set a fine example of courage and zeal to the men
under him. (21.10.18)
