Pte. Robert Thompson Geddes

British Army 8th Btn., D Coy. Royal Scots Fusiliers

from:8 Princess St, Aberdeen

(d.19th Sep 1918)

Bob Geddes was killed at the Battle of Salonika. He is buried in the burial regional unit of Kilkis Central Macedonia Northern Greece (Dorian Cemetery). His parents were Agnes (nee Thompson) and William Geddes. According to my granny (his sister Catherine Geddes) "Bob left home in secret to join up, I saw him leave and waved him off". She was about 6 or 7 years old at the time. Bob's mother never actually believed that Bob had been killed and always expected him home soon.
