Sydney Cairns - his name appears on the Lilliesleaf War Memorial, listed under KOSB.
see: Here
There is only 1 positive MIC which lists the following service:
King's Own Scottish Borderers 6638 Private
Seaforth Highlanders 203188 Private
Labour Corps 442223 Private
Nil trace on the CWGC website.
Nil trace on SDGW.
Nil trace on SNWM.
There are no deaths in Scotland in any year recorded for a Sydney Cairns - so did he survive the war and then moved country?
Who was he and what was his fate? _________________ There must be a place under the sun where hearts of olden glory grow young ..... |
