Cpl. James Craig Muir
British Army 3rd Btn. D Company Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders
from:Greenock
(d.19th Jul 1916)
We believe James Craig Muir was our paternal grandfather went missing at the Battle of the Somme, leaving four children as orphans, following the death of his wife after giving birth to their last child, our father Thomas. We believe he was promoted on the battlefield but it was never ratified. The children were split up and cared for by relatives on both sides of the family. Our maternal grandfather, Samuel Smith of Glasgow was gassed in the trenches and couldn't return to his previous employment as a carpenter because of the sawdust. This had a devastating effect on our mother's family, forcing both her and her mother to go out to work, the former at 14. Grandfather Smith died in his 60s

Pte. Michael Mulgrave
British Army 1st Battalion East Lancashire Regiment
(d.10 May 1915)
I have recently discovered Private Michael Mulgrave through investigating my ancestors. He was my grandmother's brother and, therefore, my great uncle. From the information I have been able to find he was already in the Army on the 1911 census aged 24 years. He was killed in action in 1915 in Flanders.
I have also seen a picture of his name engraved on the Menin Gate, Ypres. I feel very privileged and happy to have found him especially as I have no other living relatives I can talk to about him which is also quite sad too.
I am going to continue to try to find out more about him and his life. It all feels like I already know him in some strange way. I can't explain it in words. Anyway I feel like there is someone left to remember him and the ultimate sacrifice he made.
