Pte James Dunlop - RAMC - listed on the Hawick Roll of Honour.
No mention in any Hawick press of the time.
Nil James Dunlops - RAMC in SDGW database
Nil James Dunlops - RAMC in CWGC database
Nil James Dunlops - RAMC in SNWM database

There are 4 Medal index cards for James Dunlop - RAMC.
These are numbered: 4366, 114040, 21193, 55383.
None of the above indicate that the man died.

However, there is a A/Sjt William James Dunlop RAMC who was killed whilst serving as T2/Lt in the R.F.A.
His father's address is given as Bushmills, Co.Antrim.

There are 21 deaths recorded in the Scottish Records from 1914 to 1923 in the age range of 18 to 50.
None show a Hawick area death to the name.

Has anyone any ideas where I look now?

Sadly, James is not listed on the RAMC Roll of Honour.

Another brick wall I think.

Couple of suggestions:

1. He survived the war but died shortly after discharge and they decided to add his name anyway

2. He was not RAMC (perhaps a stretcher bearer?)
