Pte. William Hodgart

British Army 6th Btn. King's Own Scottish Borderers

from:Shotts, Lanarkshire, Scotland

(d.17th July 1916)

William Hodgart was the 2nd son to be lost in the war. I presume he was reported missing in action. I have no photographs. The memorial at Thiepval, France states that he died at age 30 on the 17th of July 1916. His Father was William Hodgart and his Mother was Anne Maxwell.

His other brother James is buried at Stane cemetry, Shotts Lanarkshire, Scotland in a war grave. James was in the Royal Scots Greys and died 19 March 1919 age 36. So sad to find out two sons lost in war and I am sure it must have been the same for many families.
