Spr. William Glennie "Bill" Airs
British Army Royal Engineers
from:Edinburgh
My father, Bill Airs, must have been one of the few who served all four years in France during WW1. He was demobbed eventually and became an engineer with Scottish Omnibuses in Edinburgh. He never spoke about his war experiences but just dismissed it all with the words if your number was on it (the shell/bullet etc) then that was it. For him, thankfully, it never was. I vaguely remembered my father chatting to his nephew Flying Officer Wilfred Airs during the second world war.
