kinnethmont Posted 26 October , 2003 Share Posted 26 October , 2003 Does anyone have a copy of the Roll of Railwaymen who fell in WW1 ? I am seeking the details entered for S/19755, Pte Edward Adam Souter who fell on 13/8/1917 serving with the 2nd Bn Black Watch ( Royal Highlanders) Thanks in advance.

Paul Reed Posted 27 October , 2003 Share Posted 27 October , 2003 I have a copy somewhere; I would add it only confirms their name and what company they worked for. There are no other details. Unless there is another, more detailed roll, I don't know of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Parker Posted 27 October , 2003 Share Posted 27 October , 2003 Why not try contacting the Railway Museum at York. I'm sure if they dont hold any records they could point you in the right direction if you know what rail company he worked for Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinnethmont Posted 27 October , 2003 Author Share Posted 27 October , 2003 Paul Thanks for your reply, I know Adam Souter worked for the Great North of Scotland Railway Company, which was based in Aberdeen. I wondered if the Roll book had details of elistment or date of same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Reed Posted 8 November , 2003 Share Posted 8 November , 2003 He's not listed on the GWR roll. I will have a look through the others and come back to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Lawton Posted 9 November , 2003 Share Posted 9 November , 2003 Paul, Any chance you could have a look for John William Lawton of Watford who worked for the London & North Western Railway. Thanks Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
