Gunner 1 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 No citation because it is a New Years Honour so I am not sure what the March 1918 refers to to. Wounded at Kemmel in April 1918. Educated at George Watson College and the University of Edinburgh. There is a photo of him on Plate 1 in Roll of Honour of the Pupils and Staff of Dunfermline High School I - The Great War 1914-1919.
