Can anyone identify this man on CWGC for me?
Here's the details given on a memorial from Brechin. Unfortunately he isn;t on the WW1 roll of honour.
Pte Robert Murray 11th Black Watch Sept 1916

That'll do!
I was struggling to connect any of the Murray's that were a reasonably close fit. Obviously the chruches info wasn't quite right.
Cheers Jim.
