Falkirk Herald, 28th April 1917, ‘Bonnybridge – Flying Corps Officer Missing’
Intimation has been received by Mrs. James Gray, Station Terrace, Bonnybridge, that her nephew, Second Lieutenant Wilfred B. Cramb, Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, attached Royal Flying Corps, was reported missing on April 14th, on which date his machine was observed well over the German lines under very heavy anti-aircraft fire. Lieutenant Cram was educated at Glasgow High School, a thrd-year medical student at Glasgow University, and was well known in motor cycle circles and the ‘Scottish six-day trials’. He went to France in September 1914 with the first unit of the Scottish branch of the British Red Cross, and was one of the pioneers of the motor ambulance for conveyance of wounded from the field. From his experience in the early months of the war he submitted valuable suggestions for the designing of motor ambulances now used. In 1915 he received a commission in the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders with whom he saw active service till January 1917, when he was attached to the Royal Flying Corps. Lieutenant Cramb is the son of Mr. David Cramb, of the Singer Manufacturing Company of Clydebank, and nephew of the late Professor Cramb, author of ‘Germany and England’.
