Hi Hugh
I have some details which I've recorded in an ROH I've written for Cargilfield School. Just wanted to check we aren't looking at the same memorial as William Denny Ward and William Bannatyne Thomson are on that one too. I notice you have posted wanting details of both.
Regards.

Hi Hugh
I paid a researcher in South Africa to find the material I have for William Denny Ward. As with William Bannatyne Thomson, I consider this as copyright as it is from the Cargilfield School ROH I've produced.
Regards
LIT
Ward, William Denny: Private, 2nd Battalion, Rhodesian Regiment. Born around 1889 at Dumbarton. A son of John Ward, Master Ship Builder, and Helen C Ward of Garmoyle, Dumbarton. Private Ward was educated at Cargilfield Preparatory School, Fettes College [1902-1907] and the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester. He later emigrated to Rhodesia and became a Farmer. He also had a one sixth share in a Southern Cross gold mining claim. He enlisted on 11/01/1915 and served as Private 1057 in the 2nd Battalion, Rhodesian Regiment, entering Africa as a theatre of war on 15/03/1915, He saw action in the German East Africa campaign and was discharged on 01/11/1917, being “Temporarily medically unfit for further war service.” It is thought he was accidentally killed on 09/07/1918, aged 29, on the railway line between Kimberley & Beaconsfield, Cape Colony. He was awarded the 1914-1915 Star, British War Medal & Victory Medal and was mentioned in The Fettes College Register 1870-1922, Old Fettesians Who Served In His Majesty’s Forces At Home And Abroad During The Great War, and a death notice in The Scotsman, 09/08/1918. |
