Hi Paul, I believe I got an e-mail from the site www.wargraves.org.uk who informed me that the names did not appear on any war memorial anywhere in the UK.
I realise of course that no-one has recorded ALL memorials yet. Maybe they meant that they do not appear yet.
I'll dig out what info I have so far and post here on this thread shortly.
Thanking anyone in anticipation for any further information.
John.

Alexander Redmond (Private) Machine Gun Corps died 01/09/1918 as a POW in Glageon camp.
Service No. 83541.

James Redmond (Lance Corporal) Irish Guards killed in action 16/03/1917
Service No. 6445.

John Brooks (Lance Corporal) Cameron Highlanders deceased 03/05/1917
Service No. S/18260.

I believe the above to be my Gt Uncles who perished in the First World War, but can find no evidence that they are remembered anywhere except for Alexander who is in the books at Edinburgh Castle.
Cheers for any further info.
(I do have the info from the CWGC site)

Other places to look.

According to SDGW, Alexander had a residence of Glasgow and James had a residence of Lanark, John was resident in Paisley. Worth checking the civic and church memorials in those areas.

Paisley's roll of honour (with names) is a book in Paisley library. James is not listed on the Lanark memorial. The Glasgow ROH is in the City Chambers.

None are listed in the Glasgow Evening Times Roll of Honour.

My grandmother had a copy of "In Flanders Fields", and it's the first poem I ever read. Her uncle, Adam Kennedy, died in the First Battle of Ypres in 1914. He was a member of the First Gordon Highlanders.
She kept the poem along with this picture of Adam.





In Memory of Serjeant ADAM JAMES KENNEDY

424, 1st Bn., Gordon Highlanders
who died age 26 on 17 November 1914
Son of John and Margaret Kennedy, of 26, Stanley Rd., Saltcoats, Ayrshire; husband of Isabella Robertson. Born at Govan, Glasgow.
Remembered with honour
POPERINGHE OLD MILITARY CEMETERY

http://www.inmemories.com/Cemeteries/poperingeold.htm

Adam is also listed on the City Roll of Honour in Aberdeen


(Glasgow Herald 15th December 1914)
"Intimation has been received by Mrs Kennedy, 37 Graham Street, Barrhead, of the death on November 17 of her son, Sergeant Adam Kennedy, of the 1st Battalion Gordon Highlanders. Sergeant Kennedy had been shot a few days earlier, and died of his wounds. He belonged to a soldier family, his father having the bronze medal for the Kabul to Kandahar march under Lord Roberts, whilst his grandfather fought in the Crimea and an earlier progenitor was with Wellington at Waterloo."
