Pte. Edward O'Donnell
British Army 8th Btn. Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders
from:Lennoxtown
(d.3rd May 1918)
My Great grandfather, Edward O'Donnell, served in the 8th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders during WW1. He was taken prisoner in 1916 and died as a POW in 1918. He is buried in Halle just outside Berlin. I don't know a great deal about his service and don't have much in way of service records. I do, however, have his medals that were sent back to the family. I know he was born in Ireland around 1890 and moved to Lennoxtown when he was a toddler as his father worked on a farm there.
