Pte. Alexander Burness Bothwell
British Army 13th Btn. Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders
from:Aberdeen
Alexander Bothwell was my grandfather He served with the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders 13th Battalion. The above information dated April 25th 1917 is from my mother's birth certificate. I know very little as regards to my grandfather's war service. I did apply to find some records but received the news that they were destroyed in the bombings of WW 2. I have some pictures taken with comrades and one on his own wearing some kind of dress uniform with an enormous sporran with 6 tassles, and he is carrying a baton. I do know he was in France but do not know which battles he fought in. My Grandfather was about 5" 2 or 3 in height just a wee man but sturdy at least at the start of the war as the pictures reveal a much leaner and aged man as the war progressed, but he survived . It seems a great shame that all records of this holding Battalion which I believe the 13th was is now wiped out.

"Poor Billy Boud was buried the same night - it was very touching. We buried him on the hillside right over the sea. It was a lovely moonlight night, and one of our cooks said a few words at the graveside, so we did the best for poor Billy. I must say this is a very wild country. It is all high hills, rocks, high boulders and bushes - so you can tell what a job we have to bring the wounded in, and we have to do that at night. Every place we to we have to dig ourselves in the ground to protect ourselves from shellfire."
William Cuthbert Boud had also served in the South African Campaign with the 1st Bn. Royal Fusiliers.

For most conspicuous bravery. When the enemy in large numbers had managed to crawl up to within 30 yards of our firing line, and with bombs and automatic rifles were keeping down the fire of our machine guns, he rushed forward alone with bombs right up to the enemy, doing great execution and causing the surrender of a party of 30. As he turned to go back for more bombs he was mortally wounded at the moment when the enemy were surrendering.
