For reasons unknown this man is not listed on the original Dundee Roll of Honour.
“While performing his duties at the guns in France, he was hit on the head by a piece of shell and instantaneously killed on the 18th of April 1917. His section officer, writing of him, says:- “I at all times found him one of my most willing and capable gunners.”
