Pte. Charles Aitchison
British Army 6th (City Of Glasgow) Btn. Highland Light Infantry
(d.3rd October 1918)
This is a short life story of my great uncle Charles Aitchison. Charlie was born in Glasgow 1892 and joined the 6th (City Of Glasgow) Battalion of the Highland Light Infantry in June 1915 aged 22 years old. He served in various conflicts in the Middle East and then moving onto France and the western front.
He was sadly killed in action on the 3rd of October 1918 at The Battle of Canal du Nord and is buried at the Cantaing British Cemetery.
I hope to visit his grave in 2018.
