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.
