John Erskine VC 5th/6th Btn. D Coy. Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) (d.14th April 1917) John Erskine was killed in action on the 14th of April 1917, aged 23. Commemorated 6 on the Arras Memorial in the Faubourg-d'Amiens Cemetery, Arras, France, he was the son of the late William Erskine, of Dunfermline, and of Mrs. Elizabeth Erskine, of 1 East Savile Rd., Edinburgh. An extract from the London Gazette, dated 4th Aug., 1916, records the following :- "For most conspicuous bravery. Whilst the near lip of a crater, caused by the explosion of a large enemy mine, was being consolidated, Actg. Serjt. Erskine rushed out under continuous fire with utter disregard of danger and rescued a wounded serjeant and a private. Later, seeing his officer, who was believed to be dead, show signs of movement, he ran out to him, bandaged his head, and remained with him for fully an hour, though repeatedly fired at, whilst a shallow trench was being dug to them. He then assisted in bringing in his officer, shielding him with his own body in order to lessen the chance of his being hit again." s flynn Add to this record. 1206062 Pte. William Mills 8th Battalion Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) (d.28th June 1915) William Mills enlisted in the Cameronians rather than in the Royal Scots Fusiliers, in which his father was serving, because he was underage. Although his age at death is given as 18, I believe he was only 17. He entered the conflict at Gallipolli on the 14th of June 1915 and only survived for two weeks. He is remembered at the Helles Memorial in Turkey. Maralyn Unsworth Add to this record. 1205969 Pte. Albert Bridge 10th Btn.

Andrew Logan Stirling Scottish Rifles I never knew Andrew Stirling, he was my grannie's brother. He married Euphemia Robertson MacDonald in 1914 and went to war. He also was in the Reserves since 1901. I believe he contracted TB and ulceration of the stomach from which he died in 1922. Two other bothers went to war in different Regiments. William Stirling in the 2nd Royal Fusiliers was killed in July 1916 France. Alexander Stirling was posted to Egypt WW1 (don't know the Regiment). He contracted rheumatic fever along with his fellow soldiers, eventually made it back being in 1917, seconded to an Ammunition Factory in Coatbridge, to help out, only to die from complications of his stomach illness in 1933. Their poor mother must have been devastated. She died in 1924 so only knew about 2 of them. Margaret Stirling Lynn Add to this record. 263026 Pte. Herbert Jackson 11th Btn.

Bert Gwinett Phillips 9th Btn. Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) (d.25th Apr 1918) The regimental war diaries for the 24th and 25th April 1918 recorded that on the 24th the 9th Battalion of the Cameronians relieved the 8th Battalion of the Black Watch when they moved from their camp at Bedelem Farm into the Vierstraat Line north of Kemmel. By midnight the relief was completed without any casualties. Bert Phillips’s A Company was posted in the Cheapside Line. The whole Battalion came under heavy German fire including gas at 2.30am. At 7.00am A Company reported their position as intact with slight casualties. As the Germans continued to press forward during the afternoon forcing some withdrawals, the Cheapside Line was reinforced and by nightfall had been held. It was at some point during these events that Bert had been killed. His body was never found and his name is one of nearly 35,000 inscribed on the Tyne Cot memorial.
