Pte. William Moodie
British Army 1/19th Dunbartonshire Btn. Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders
from:7 Brewery lane, Dumbarton
(d.10th May 1915)
On the 10th May 1915 between 08.00 and 09.00 William Moody's unit was ordered to reinforce the 2nd Cameron's with two other companies. Major George Christie led. A and D. to a position 200 yards west of Hooge at 09.30 they went over the top. Sadly my great uncle was killed during this action. His body was never recovered. He is commemorated on the Menin Gate. I feel proud even though I never knew this man. I visited the Gate in Ypres, Belgium on two occasions.
