I was reading the Cupar transcription and see that these two female casualties had been posted in this thread already, but I can't see them on CWGC or SNWM. Has anyone info on these two WW2 women?

Smith is on CWGC and SNWM. H.M.S. Pyramus was the RN Base at Kirkwall, she was killed in a flying accident, at sea.

I suspect Helen Milne may have been a civilian nurse and so not qualify for war dead status. Local press might provide more info.

Tony

I think a mix up between WW1 & WW2 would be highly unlikely at Cupar and this is not the same woman.
Cupar is a long way from Stonehaven. Local news papers might provide the answer.

There's also a Janet F. Pattie listed on Kirkintilloch war memorial.
It's odd that she was listed under her maiden name of Pattie (CWGC have the parents surname wrong as I have checked her Death Cert).

Name: LITHGOW, JANET FULTON SNEDDON

Rank: Private
Regiment/Service: Auxiliary Territorial Service
Age: 24
Date of Death: 13/12/1945

Additional information: Daughter of Robert and Janet Pattis, of Kirkintilloch; wife of Andrew C. Lithgow, of Auchinloch, Lanarkshire.
Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead
Grave/Memorial Reference: Sec. C. Plot E. Grave 300.
Cemetery: KIRKINTILLOCH (AULD AISLE) CEMETERY

Derek.


*Edit - Anne


War Graves Project link

This lady lead me a merry dance trying to find her in Auld Aisle Cemetery!

On the stone she is listed as 'Jenny, beloved wife of Andrew C. Lithgow and daughter of Robert & Janet Pattie (nee Sneddon)'.

Also, her parents are listed on CWGC as Pattis!! Rolling Eyes

Derek

If she died in Scotland, can you send me on the DC.

The memorial is also in error if she was married.

She was lost when SS Ceramic was torpedoed off the Azores and sunk en route to Durban.
