166084 Robert Anderson British Army from:Hightae Dumfriesshire Scotland I don't really know much about my grandfather Bob Anderson but i do know he served in WW1. I have the only surviving picture of him in his World War 1 uniform taken at a photographers studio in Paisley. I think he was only 17 at the time. Judging by the spurs he was wearing he probably served with a cavalry regiment.My mum thinks he was in Egypt at some point during the war. There is an embroidery of the crossed rifles of the machine gun corps but no one seems sure who it belonged to but it did mysteriously appear after my grandads brother died so grandad may have been in the artillary as part of a machine gun grew. He did survive the war but sadly died in 1927, aged 27 from tuberculosis so regretably ,as i am particularly fascinated by the Great War, i did not have the privilage of meeting him or of talking to him about his experiences.I would like to know what regiment he was in, where he was, and what battles he fought in. Can you help please?
