His D.C. describes him as a butcher and "formerly Private 1/6th Seaforth highlanders). He died aged 20 of general T.B. after suffering from it for 3 years.

Anne
Have asked Derek to send me the DC to check further. I have found his pension record and it looks like a case can be made for him to MOD / CWGC.
Advise if you want me to forward if DC confirms.
( Update - DC confirms service related illness and that it is the same man )
Buried at New Elgin Cemetery. _________________ Jim
