One quick last question, on the boer war memorial in Alloa there is a John Wright, Royal Highlanders says he died of wounds, im looking for any info on him. Wright is my grans side of the family, im looking to see if hes one of ours i know my grans brother is on the ww2 memorial in Alloa, but so far ive drawn a blank with John Wright. even if its just a date of death so i have a starting point to look it up in the library micro films (something i like doing but its hard on your eyes) muchly thanks Smile
