Royal Scots (Lothian Regiment) (d.28th Mar 1918) Alexander Frew was my paternal grandfather's youngest brother. He was born on the 10th of January 1898 in Kinghorn, Fife, and enlisted in the Royal Scots (Lothian Regiment)in Kirkcaldy, Fife on the 28th of August 1915, aged 17. He was killed on the 28th of March 1918, aged 20, at the battle of Arras. He is commemorated on the Arras memorial, located in the Faubourg d'Amiens British military cemetery. I have no memory of anyone speaking of Alexander, I only found him while researching my family tree, it's sad that a lot of these hero's were never spoken about by those they left behind. I will remember him. I have no photo of Alexander, but I have one of my grandfather, Thomas McGill Frew, who was a driver in the Army Service Corps. Sgt. Alexander Ramsay Frew served with the 13th Battalion Royal Scots (Lothian Regiment) during WW1 and was killed in action on the 28th March 1918 aged 20. He is commemorated on the Arras memorial, located in the Faubourg d'Amiens British military cemetery. He was the was the son of Mrs. Helen Frew, of 64, High St., Kinghorn, Fife.

An extract from the London Gazette, No. 29371, dated 16th Nov., 1915, records the following:- "For most conspicuous bravery on Hill 70 on 26th Sept., 1915. Pte. Dunsire went out under very heavy fire and rescued a wounded man from between the firing lines. Later, when another man considerably nearer the German lines was heard shouting for help, he crawled out again with utter disregard to the enemy's fire and carried him in also. Shortly afterwards the Germans attacked over this ground." s flynn Add to this record. 1206471 Pte. William Gow 13th Btn. Royal Scots (Lothian Regiment) (d.29th Sep 1917) William Gow was the eldest son of my Great Grandparents William Gow and Marion Holland. He was the eldest of 6 boys. Until the death of my Grandfather, no one knew about William. His mother suffered a stroke on hearing of his death and she died just six months later. His father William, never claimed his medals and they were returned to the War Office under Kings regulations in 1923. William was just 16 years old when he enlisted after Kitchener's appeal for volunteers. At 17 years of age he was deployed on the Western Front in July 1915. In the Autumn he fought in the Battle of Loos over Hill 70. Moving deeper into the Somme, he fought in the battle of Flers-Courcelette and the capture of Martinpuich from the Germans in a surprise attack which rendered very few casualties and little resistance. In 1917 his battalion played their part in the Spring Offensive, emerging from Wellington Cave tunnels in Arras heading toward Blangy in a hard fought battle which resulted in many casualties for the 13th Royal Scots. He survived this battle and little more is known except he died on 29/9/1917. Location and offensive unknown. His name is on the Faubourg D'Amiens British Military Memorial in Arras. Ellen Hackett Add to this record. 1206462 L/Cpl. James "Dodger" Higgins 17th (Rosebery's Bantams) Battalion Royal Scots My grandad James Higgins volunteered to fight in WW1, I don't know much about my grandfather's time in WW1 (I think he fought at the Somme) other than my mum said he sent all the money he could home to my grandmother who was expecting their first child. One Christmas he received a letter from my granny from home in which she said she'd included a postal order for him to treat himself. He delightedly told all his mates that he'd treat them all to a drink only to find she had sent him a postal order for a shilling!! Hahaha!! He said if she'd have been standing in front of him he'd have shot her, she later told him she didn't send more incase he was dead by the time her letter arrived as she didn't want to waste good money. During WW2 he dyed his hair (it had turned white after his time in France) forged his d.o.b and volunteered and went off to train for the barrage balloons down south, until they discovered his true age and sent him home, I think he got drunk and spilled the beans. He was a real old soldier and when I was little I loved how he would fold all my clothes and stack them up neatly on the chair every night before I went to bed.

(d.7th Apr 1917) Lt Moyes, a former construction engineer from Edinburgh, was killed whilst flying with Capt Mahony-Jones when their aircraft was shot down by Maximilian Muller of Jasta28 on the evening of the 7th of April 1917. The FE2d was brought down over the Front lines whilst returning from the second bombing raid of the day on Mouvaux aerodrome. The allied aircraft came under attack from a formation of Albatros scouts, Mahony-Jones turned back to assist Lt Lawson whose FE2 had been hit. Moyes and Mahony-Jones engaged the enemy allowing Lawson to land behind the British Lines. Lt W.B.Moyes and his pilot were laid to rest in a German cemetery, after the war they were transferred to the CWGC cemetery at Bailleul.

Royal Scots James Peden was a Pipe Major with the Royal Scots and was at Gallipoli. Ian Peden Add to this record. 263664 Pte. William Swann 15th Btn Royal Scots William Swann, known as Billy, was my Great Great Aunt's stepson. He was one of the so called Manchester Scottish, members of the 15th Battalion, Royal Scots which was raised by the Lord Provost and City with half the men being recruited in Edinburgh and half in Manchester, hence the name Manchester Scottish. My interest in him comes from two photographs I have passed through the family welcoming him home from the war after being in a POW in Germany. My research through the archives of the International Committee of the Red Cross indicates that he was captured at Croiselles, France on the 23rd of March 1918 and was imprisoned at Parchim Camp in Germany. This was known as the Camp of Death possibly because of the high death rate from Spanish Flu. William married in Annie Leah on 27th Dec 1927. I have not been able to trace any children. It was a later marriage, William was born in 1883, Annie in 1894 and both died in 1960. Isobel Wilde Add to this record. 263484 Sgt. William Taylor Soutar DCM. 13th Btn.

Soldiers Died in the Great War, 1914-19: Royal Scots (Lothian Regiment) More information on: Soldiers Died in the Great War, 1914-19: Royal Scots (Lothian Regiment) History of the 51st (Highland) Division 1914-1918 F.W. Bewsher The Highland Division was one of the pre-war Territorial divisions. Its HQ was in Perth with brigade HQs in Aberdeen, Inverness and Stirling. On mobilization the division moved down to its war station in Bedford where it remained, carrying out training till embarking for France in May 1915. During this period six of its battalions were sent to France, three in November 1914 and three in the following March, replaced by two Highland battalions and a brigade of four Lancashire battalions; it is not clear whether the latter were required to wear kilts. They were transferred to the 55th (West Lancashire) Division when that division reformed in France in January 1916 and were replaced, appropriately, by Scottish battalions. It was in May 1915, just as the division arrived in France, that it was designated 51st and the brigades 152nd, 153rd and 154th; by the end of the war the 51st (Highland) Division had become one of the best known divisions in the BEF. More information on: History of the 51st (Highland) Division 1914-1918 Somewhere in Blood Soaked France Alasdair Sutherland This book follows the life of a crofters son from the Highlands of Scotland to Edinburgh and beyond and is a very rare example of a Brave man who secretely kept a diary during his military service from the Campaigns in Dardenelles, Egypt, the Somme, Ypres and every other battle he fought in, most not as memorable and probably long forgotten but every bit as Bloody. Angus's diary gives a modest and unique version of events he lived through and also the horrific conditions which he had to face on a daily basis. The author Alasdair Sutherland paints a bigger picture of what really took place on those diary entry dates looking back in time to the battlefields filling in the detail and giving the diary more depth and perspective. This is a unique story brought to life by a very knowledgeable author who researched the subject in great detail. More information on: Somewhere in Blood Soaked France Somewhere in Blood Soaked France Alasdair Sutherland From the heat and dust of the Dardanelles to the mud of the Western Front, Corporal Angus Mackay had one constant companion, his diary. He wrote of the battles and campaigns he fought in, names that would go down in history: Gallipoli, the Somme, Ypres and Arras. Serving in the the 1st/5th Battalion (Queens Edinburgh Rifles) Royal Scots and later the 88th Brigade Machine Gun Corps, he left a record of one man's extraordinary and tragic war. In Somewhere in Blood Soaked France, Alasdair Sutherland reveals this previously unpublished account of the First World War, complete with historical context, orders of battle and extracts from official war diaries. This rare source - it was an offence to keep a record in a case of capture - offers a stirring insight into the bravery of Mackay and his companions, who were not afraid to die for their country. 'If I go under it will be in a good cause, so roll on the adventure.' More information on: Somewhere in Blood Soaked France Links Suggest a link
