Lancastle (No. 7012) , 2nd Battalion The Royal Scots, was killed in action at Petit Bois near Kemmel. Corporal Lancastle, who was 32 years of age, enlisted fifteen years ago, and as a reservist, was called up on the declaration of War. He had been at the front since September and saw a good deal of fighting. In one engagement he fell into the hands of the Germans, and was made a prisoner. He escaped after a fortnight and some time afterwards rejoined his own corps. Since he became a reservist he had been employed in a Dalkeith potato-warehouse, and also for some months at a local colliery."
