L/Cpl. Kenneth Campbell Lowrie
British Army 1/4th Btn. Royal Scots Fusiliers
from:Helensburgh, Scotland
(d.13th Nov 1917)
Kenneth Lowrie was my grandfather's half brother, the son of John and Kate Lowrie of Helensburgh. He enlisted originally with the Highland Light Infantry in Glasgow (service no 31288) The family story is that he was too young to enlist so lied about his age. He was killed in action in Palestine in 1917 and buried in Ramleh War Cemetery, supposedly aged 19. However he was not born at the time of 1901 census, and was therefore aged about 16 when he died.
