144341 Pte. James Carnegie British Army 1st Battalion Gordon Highlanders from:Charleston, Nigg, Aberdeen (d.26th Sept 1917) My husband's father Stanley Jones served in the Gordon Highlanders, Recently going through his papers we found a faded photograph of a Gordon Highlander, on the back is written James Carnegie (Barry Carnoustie). This gentleman appeared to have been a great friend of his. Researching on the internet we have found that a James Carnegie S/17411 lst Btn. Gordon Highlanders died at the age of 22 on 26th September, 1917 and is remembered with honour on the Tyne Cot Memorial. Stanley was in the lst Btn Gordon Highlanders (service number S/6402) so we think we have found the young James Carnegie in the picture lovingly kept by Stanley in his precious papers of the Great War. If anyone of James's family would like to get in touch we would be so happy to hear from them.
