William, we know you had been born in Kiltarlity, but do not know anything of your own family. We also know that you enlisted in Inverness, although we do not know the date you did so, and that you had served initially in the 1st Battalion of the Camerons. The records in Fort George listed you as a former farm servant. We wonder what accident had caused the scar below your right elbow. We have found no record of the exact date when you transferred to the 2nd Battalion of the Camerons, but we know that they had arrived back from India to join 81st Brigade of 27th Division on 19th December 1914. They were then involved in the 2nd Battle of Ypres, where they defended Hill 60 against determined German attacks during the period 21st-29th April. During this fighting the battalion suffered 673 casualties, of which you, sadly, were one. William, the fighting must have been horrendous, and we salute you as a brave soldier who died while doing your duty in the front line. Rest in Peace. Terry and Harry.

Henry Harrison
