  Lt-Col. Angus Falcolner Douglas-Hamilton VC. 6th Btn. Cameron Highlanders (d.26th Sep 1915)

Whilst commanding 6th Bn. Cameron Highlanders Lt-Col. Angus Douglas-Hamilton was killed in action on the 26th of September 1915 age 52 and is commemorated on the Loos Memorial in France.

An extract from The London Gazette, dated 18th Nov., 1915, recorded the following:- "For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty when commanding his battalion during operations on 25th and 26th September, 1915, on Hill 70. On the 26th, when the battalions on his right and left had retired, he rallied his own battalion again and again, and led his men forward four times. The last time he led all that remained, consisting of about fifty men, in a most gallant manner and was killed at their head. It was mainly due to his bravery, untiring energy and splendid leadership that the line at this point was enabled to check the enemy's advance."

  Cpl. Jock Pender Queens own Camerion Highlanders

On the 31st July 1917, the first day of the battle of Ypres, my Father Jock Pender was repairing telephone communication cables close to Square Farm near Frezenberg, just east of Ypres with L/Cpl "Wee" Hanna. Jock was sniped and hit on the right shoulder. He fell and Wee Hanna ran over to help him, at which point Hanna was also sniped presumably by the same sniper. He fell dead on top of his friend. My Father used to tell how he lay there for hours, till darkness fell and allowed him to struggle from under Hanna's body and make his way back to his base. When Hanna was searched for later he couldn't be found, presumably buried in the Flanders mud.

  Pte. William Cowie 6th Battalion Cameron Highlanders (d.28th March 1918)

The only information I have is that William Cowie of the 6th Battalion, Cameron Highlanders died of wounds at the 41st Clearing Station on 28th of March 1918.He is buried Wanquetin Communal Cemetery Extension, France. He was a resident of Inverness. Sole Legatee of his effects was Mrs Annie Allison.

  Pte. Matthew Miller 6th Btn Cameron Highlanders

Matthew Miller was my Grandfather, and I have learned from service records that he enlisted at the age of 19 and served with the 6th Cameron Highlanders. He was wounded in France in August 1916, and was one of the very lucky ones to survive. Seeing so many fellow servicemen die must never leave you. When re-posted Matthew was sent to the Salonika Campaign, where he contracted malaria. This may have been with the 3rd Cameron Highlanders.

Reading the other profiles here, I am now wondering if my father Douglas was named after the commander listed here. There is no one named Douglas in 200 years of our family tree. I think I may have found his name sake.

  Pte. Alexander Wood 6th Btn. Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders (d.14th Jul 1916)

I believe Alexander Wood was my great uncle but surviving military death record only states, killed in action and parents, Mr and Mrs Wood of 3 Stanwell Street, Leith, but gives no parents first names to allow me to check that he is not from another family living in the same area. Trying to check family history.







  Cpl. Harvey Gray 6th Btn. Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders (d.23rd July 1918)

Serving with the 6th Btn Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders in France, Cpl Harvey Gray was killed in action on 23rd July 1918. He was buried at Raperie British Cemetery, Ville Montoire, France, aged 22.







  Pte. Cyril Crompton Davy 6th Btn. Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders (d.18th July 1917)

Cyril Davy served as a private with the 6th Battalion Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders. He died of wounds on 18th July 1917 and was buried in Dozinghem Military Cemetery, Belgium. He was 20 years old.







  2nd Lt. Cecil Newton 6th Btn. Cameron Highlanders (d.15th Spetember 1916)

I have just found my great uncle, Cecil Newton's, will on Scotland's People website and it states the date of his death in France. I know very little else I am afraid.

  Pte. James Black 6th Btn Cameron Highlanders (d.24th April 1917)

  Pte. William Alexander 6th Battalion Cameron Highlanders

I always knew my grandfather, William Alexander, my dad's dad, was in the Cameron Highlanders and was in the 1st World War, but very little information was passed down. My dad was 22 when his dad died and he would tell us about our grandad and the Battle of the Somme and how he was shot in the shoulder. My dad only found out as a teenager when he asked his dad about the scars on his shoulder, the answer was "son they are there, so you will never have to have the same" and that was that.

It wasn't until after his death that my grandmother spoke about my grandfather's injuries and the effects it had on him. He never spoke of it and never told any of his four children. He went on to have two billiard rooms in Glasgow, one in the Trongate up from the old C&A and one in the Great Western Road, near his beloved Glasgow Rangers. He and my grandmother also had a boarding house in Beach Way Largs for many years. He died in 1951 aged 61. I never met him as I was born 10 years later, but my dad said he was a wonderful, kind, loving man that everyone loved, a real gem. His mother was Clementina Shand Daniel, the daughter of the poet William Shand Daniel and they originated from Fraserburgh and the Shands of Craigellie. And old highland and patriotic family. I wish I had met him, I feel so honoured and proud of him.

If anyone has anymore information on the 6th Battalion Cameron Highlanders, please could you let me know. Thank you.

  L/Cpl. Frederick George Hanna 6th Btn. Queens Own Cameron Highlanders (d.17th Jul 1917)

A Silver War Badge medal was handed down to my brother and I from our Grandmother, whose husband was Norman Hanna. It was awarded to my Grandfather's older Brother Frederick George Hanna. Nobody remembered any stories other than he had died in WWI. After doing some research for my family tree, I came across a story on this website that seemed to match the Information I had found: Frederick died on 31st July 1917, killed in action at Flanders. He was a L/ Cpl. in the 6th Battalion of the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders, recruited from Glasgow Scotland. The story of Cpl. Jock Pender happened on 31st July 1917 in Ypres, Flanders and tells of a "Wee Hanna" running over to help after Jock was shot in the shoulder and Wee Hanna being shot dead by a sniper himself. Jock Pender then lay under the body of "Wee Hanna" until darkness & went back to look for him but the body was lost in the Flanders mud. I was amazed to find this story that matched up so perfectly with the information I already had. It's surprisingly emotional, and I feel pride that my Great Uncle was trying to help in what must have been very difficult situation for all.
