243601 Sgt. Richard Edmonston Ewen British Army 4th Btn. Gordon Highlanders (d.25th Sep 1915) Richard Ewen is my great grandfather who was killed in action on the 25th of September 1915 and has no known grave. His widow brought me up and I bear his name. He was a regular soldier and fought in earlier campaigns in the north west frontier and several other battles. As far as I know he reached the rank of sergeant and was in the T.F. when the war started. Unfortunately I no longer have his medals, death coin or the one and only photograph my great gran had. To me his photograph was exactly the figure in the camp coffee bottle down to a tee. I have visited and viewed his name on the Menin Gate and in the Scottish roll of honour in Edinburgh Castle. Fortunately the Gordon Highlanders museum provided me with copy of his war records including the dairy of the day he and his squad were killed.
