Gnr. Robert Alexander Lambie
British Army 47th Siege Bty. Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Glasgow
I know very little about my grandfather, Robert Lambie's, war service, only what I've been able to glean from his War Record. His record says he was posted to B.E. France but isn't specific about where exactly. He was injured on 10th November 1917 but, as he was returned from hospital to his unit on the same day, it was clearly not serious.
He was a member of Queen's Park Football Club in Glasgow, played in the 1st Eleven in 1898/99 and later served on the committee. Several of his colleagues were killed in the Great War. John Lambie, one time captain of the Scottish football team, and William Lambie, also a QPFC player, were his older brothers.

Regimental No. 5038, but transferred to the Royal Army Medical Corps on 4th of April 1900, No.13886. He served for six months in South Africa in the Boer War in the 3rd Field Ambulance before being invalided home with enteric fever. He spent over six years in Malta with the Colours and then four years in the reserves.

Pte. William Thomas Lambourne
British Army Rifle Brigade
from:Poplar, Middlesex, London
Thomas Henry Lambourne is my great grandfather. He died when my Grandpa, his only son, was only 1 year old. When his mother remarried, all records of Thomas were destroyed. My Grandpa is now 91, and it has been a great and painful mystery in his life, not knowing very much about his father.
Thomas served in WWI under the name 'William Thomas Lambourne' in the Rifle Brigade, with number R-6734. The only record my Grandfather has are his Army medals. I'm not sure where Thomas went during the war, other than that he was poisoned by mustard gas, which is why he died so soon after the end of the war. Other details I have are that Thomas was born on the 29th of Nov 1896 in Poplar, Middlesex, London, he died 7 April 1923 in Islington, Middlesex, London. His mother was Annie Elizabeth Kempson and father Thomas Lambourne. His stepfather was named William Foster. Thomas had a brother Samuel Alfred George Lambourne, who also served in the armed forces and sisters Annie Elizabeth, Emily Elizabeth and Ethel May Lambourne.
My Grandpa is now very frail and not so well, so I am desperate to try to find a photo of his father from his WW1 days or some other form of photo or family portrait.
