Memorial: LOOS MEMORIAL Panel Reference: Panel 78 to 83

Andrew Carmichael was born in Dunfermline in 1893.
Unknown why he is linked to Auchinleck
apart from the fact that he’s listed on the Auchinleck
Roll of Honour which was printed in the Cumnock Chronicle
on the 19th.February,1915,
so he must’ve had some connection with Auchinleck at that time.
(alongside Pte. A.McFarlane from the same regiment!)
