Private Robert Rennie, Scottish Horse had me puzzled until I was reading the Stirling Roll of Honour (thanks to whoever put the link to it on the Forum - Delboy, I think). There is a Robert RANNIE, private, Scottish Horse, 5 Viewfield Place, Stirling, which is but a hop and a step from the original North Parish Church.

Thank you, Adam; another piece of the jigsaw in place!
The last piece of the jigsaw (as far as my research is concerned) centred on why a Pitsligo loon was in Stirling. The Stirling Observer came up trumps. An article about him after his death (at Alexandria Hospital as the result of an attack of dysentery) states that he "had been employed in the Lands Valuation Department at Stirling for the last three years." (October 19, 1915) |

William was educated at Annan Academy and when the family moved to Stirling in 1912 he was employed as a clerk in the livestock market where his older brother John was an auctioneer. He enlisted in May 1915 and had joined his battalion in France in the summer of 1916.
His late father belonged to Kirkmlchael, Dumfriesshire and was well known farming circles in Dumfries and Cumberland, and was a pioneer of the cattle and horse trade with the Argentine. He died in Buenos Aires in January 1907 and his two oldest children, John and Annita were born there.
