Gnr. William Wright McLennan MM
British Army 2nd Siege Bty. Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Edinburgh
My father enlisted at Edinburgh on 17th September 1903 for the Royal Garrison Artillery. He disembarked to France on 17th September 1914 with the 2nd Siege Battery. He was engaged in the Battle of the Marne, for which he received the Mons Star. Reference: the London Gazette dated 12th September 1916, page 9003, states he was awarded the Military Medal for firing an ammunition store to atoms. (Reference Edinburgh Bulitin dated October 1916.) I believe he was part of the 85th mobile Battery from 1916 to the end of the war.
