brownag Posted 18 October , 2004 Share Posted 18 October , 2004 This may, or may not be of interest to some. I've attached an image of a name taken from the Bellshill War Memorial in Lanarkshire. It's Alexander Busby who was kia 23.4.1917 serving with 7th QOCH. He is commemorated on the Arras Memorial. His son, who was only 8 years old when he died, later became manager of a quite well known football team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
