My Great Grandad Robert Geddes returned home after two months of war injured and then enlisted on recovery. He was killed on the Somme 1916. He was in the 8th Battalion Seaforth Highlanders. He had been a conductor on the tramways. It is said he died while assisting another injured soldier. He was just 30 years old and left a wife Martha and a young son Robert (my Grandad). Geddes Street in Cherry Tree Blackburn is named after him.
