John Hall was killed on the 10th March 1938 at Belchite. He was serving as part of the International Brigade during the Spanish Civil War.
This is the first grave commemorating a Spanish Civil War casualty I've seen in Scotland, but I'm sure there must be others.

I have been unable to locate any further details of this mans death. Locating details for post-Second World War deaths in the Canadian military is not easy, and I can find nothing for this man.
