Lest We Forget Lest we Forget The story of the men from Bothwell who died in the First World War Lest we Forget The Story of the men from Bothwell who died in the First World War. Researched and published by the Bothwell Historical Society. Disclaimer While the information in this book has been given in good faith and every effort has been made by Bothwell Historical Society to ensure its accuracy, the Society assumes no liability or responsibility for any errors or omissions herein. Throughout the book the assumption has been made that if a man is known to have died on a specific date and his battalion was in battle or incursion on that date then he died in that same battle or incursion. In cases where records show a man‟s regiment and battalion at the time of his death, and where background information is given herein about that battalion, there is no certainty that the man served all his time with that battalion or that, in the period prior to his death, he fought in the battalion battles described. The Bothwell Historical Society gratefully acknowledges the permission granted to reproduce the material in this book. Every effort has been made to trace copyright holders and to obtain their permission for the use of copyright material. The Society apologizes for any errors or omissions and would be grateful if notified of any corrections that should be incorporated in future reprints or editions of this book. Points of Explanation 1. Where „Land‟ is used in an address as in „Rait‟s Land, Main Street, Bothwell‟ or „Scott‟s Land, Green Street, Bothwell‟ it means a tenemental building owned by that named person. 2. Where „c‟ is used before a date, as in c1895, it means circa or about 1895. 3. The number below the Soldier‟s name is his regimental number. Officers do not have numbers. 4. Servicemen who died in WW1 are recorded on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission web site and this gives their date of death, regiment and battalion. If a man‟s battalion was involved in a battle, raid or other action on the day the man died, then for the purposes of this book, it is assumed he died in that action. The death in action of an officer was normally recorded in the battalion‟s war diary. Other ranks that died were not normally individually named in the war diary. 5. Where available, service records maintained by the National Archives have been used to help write the stories of the men. Unfortunately about 60% of the service records of the men who fought in WW1 were destroyed in September 1940, when a German bombing raid struck the War Office repository in London. This has limited the information available to build up a picture of some of the men. 6. The village of Bothwellhaugh in present day common usage is spelled „Bothwellhaugh‟ and this spelling has been used in this book. However on the WW1 Memorial plaque from the church it is spelled Bothwell Haugh. This spelling has been used in reference to the plaque. 1 Contents Page Foreword 5 Introduction 6 Bothwell War Memorial, WW1 Inscriptions 8 Bothwell Parish Church Memorial, WW1 Inscriptions 10 Kirkfield and Wooddean Church Memorial, WW1 Inscriptions 11 Men commemorated on gravestones in Bothwell Kirkyard 13 Men of Bothwellhaugh 14 Letters of Gold 15 Remembering the Fallen 16 Bothwell at War 19 The British Army in the Great War 22 The Battle of Loos 25 The Attack at Festubert 31 Bothwell’s Roll of Honour Baird William, Royal Scots, Private 35 Boyd John, Cameronians, Lieutenant 38 Boyd William MC, Royal Field Artilllery, Lieutenant 40 Breakenridge William, Royal Navy, Ordinary Seaman 43 Brown Charles H, Royal Garrison Artillery, Private 46 Brown James T, Cameronians, Lance Corporal 47 Brownlie James, Cameronians, Lance Corporal 48 Buchanan James DCM, Highland Light Infantry, Sergeant 50 Buller David, Highland Light Infantry, Private 53 Burns Thomas, Canadian Expeditionary Force, Private 55 Campbell Colin, Royal Scots, Private 58 Cameron John, Royal Scots, Private 59 Carson Frank, Cameronians, Sergeant 60 Casey William, Scots Guards, Private 62 Clark Thomas, Gordon Highlanders, Private 65 Coats James, Cameronians, Private 66 Collins James, Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders, Private 68 Crawford James, Machine Gun Corps, Private 70 Day William, Highland Light Infantry, Private 71 Dobbin Alexander, Highland Light Infantry, Private 72 Dobson Alexander, Machine Gun Corps, Private 74 Doyle Edward, Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders, Private 76 Duncan Alastair, Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders, Private 77 Flynn John, Highland Light Infantry, Lance Corporal 78 Gibson James, Merchant Navy, C.W.O. 79 Gordon George, Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, Private 80 2 Graham Robert, Cameronians, Private 82 Graham Simon, Seaforth Highlanders, Private 84 Grant Alexander, Highland Light Infantry, Lieutenant 85 Grant W.

It is indeed a wonderful achievement that in the centenary year of that terrible conflict the town now has a definitive record of all the young men who made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of their homeland both in the killing fields of Belgium and France and in the service of the Royal Navy and merchant marine across the seas of the world. I was especially touched to read the names of the dead from Bothwellhaugh, the mining village that I remember from my youth, but whose buildings were levelled and quite literally disappeared from the face of the earth below Strathclyde

Evidence of early man can be found throughout the parish, enabling us to build a picture of how the community of Stonehouse developed over the centuries. The fact that a stone cist was found in the old kirk cemetery in 1937, confirms this site as a CASTLES place of pagan burial.

AMUS MACPHERSON, " Editor of the People's Centenary Edition of Burns. | until ton PRINTED AT THE "ADVERTISER" OFFICE, BY WM. NAISMITH. 1862. V-* 13EFERKING- to a recent Advertisement, -*-*; in which I assert that all my Black and Coloured Cloths are Woaded—or, in other wards, based with Indigo —a process which,, permanently prevents them from assuming that brownish appearance (daily apparent on the street) which they acquire after being for a time in use. As a guarantee for what I state, I pledge myself that every piece, before being taken into stock, is subjected to a severe chemical test, which in ten seconds sets the matter at rest. I have commenced the Clothing with the fullest conviction that "what is worth doing is worth doing well," to accomplish which I shall leave " no stone untamed" to render my Establishment as much a " household word " ' for Gentlemen's Clothing as it has become for the ' Unique Shirt." I do not for a moment deny that Woaded Cloths are kept by other respectable Clothiers ; but I give the double assurance that no other is kept in my stock—a pre- caution that will, I have no doubt, ultimately serve my purpose as much as it must serve that of my Customers. Nearly 30 years' experience as a Tradesman has convinced " me of the hollowness of the Cheap" outcry ; and I do believe that most people, who, in an incautious moment, have been led away by the delusive temptation of buying ' cheap, have been experimentally taught that ' Cheapness" is not Economy.

  • HERBERT WALTER BEEVIS on 18 October 1916
    This is the Sixty-sixth of an occasional series of articles by David Stone about incidents in the history of Swanton Morley and its church THE DEATH OF HERBERT WALTER BEEVIS On 18 October 1916 Previous articles on WWI I thought that you might now wish to take a look at some more of the names that appear on our war memorial. Perhaps I may remind you that I have been trying to look at them in chronological order, starting with Article No 50 which looked at the death of Private Horace Albert Rump, who died on the Somme at the Battle of Delville Wood on 19 July 1916. This was followed by Article No. 51 which looked at the three men from the village who all died in April 1917 at various stages of the Battle of Arras. Finally, Article No. 52 concerned Private George Richard Harrold who died at Cambrai on 30 November 1917. I had intended to continue with the chronological order by talking about the German Spring Offensive and the three men from the village who died during April 1918. However, this would have meant leaving out one other soldier who was killed much earlier on (18 October 1916), which was towards the end of the Somme Offensive. At the time, I knew very little about the circumstances surrounding his death, and I could not find enough material for an article. However, this is no longer the case. The death of Herbert Walter Beevis This soldier was Private Herbert Walter Beevis who was in the 9th Bn.

Through the Community Solutions Strategy, “Softening the Lines”, - the CVS’s contribution is co-ordinated, robustly monitored and works to the regional logic model based on a series of programme outcomes. The Community Solutions work is based on co-production (which includes co- commissioning at a community level); giving people choice and control and building compassionate communities through connections and capacity building of local supports. Using eleven project hosts to guide best practice (e.g. in physical activity; healthy eating; anticipatory planning; transport etc) and 6 locality host organisations to ensure a truly community led approach, a devolved budget of £1.14 million from HSCNL together with a number of additional funds totaling £1,390,000 is directly invested in organisations and community groups (budget for 19/20 attached as Appendix 1) with countless others receiving support from other means such as capacity building, training and organizational and volunteer support. Investment ranges from micro-investment (£300-£5000) and matched funds, to strategic investment in projects of up to £75,000.
