There is also a Hawick link to his place of employment in London but at the moment I can't remember what it was. Rolling Eyes

Stephen,
The Hawick link was that another Hawick man, Robert Purdom, also worked for that firm:
He was employed at Nicholsons, St.Pauls Churchyard, London.
Robert was killed in the war.

Derek, I have a bit of information on my grandfather who was a Hawick man, both some pictures of him with a colleague (maybe when they signed up) and also when he was sent home after a bad injury to his leg.

Do you collect info on Hawick history, if I'm happy to send information to you.

Stephen,
I'd bite your hand off for any info regarding Hawick and the Great War.
