Pte. Joseph Barr

British Army 2nd Btn. Highland Light Infantry

from:Coatbridge

(d.7th Nov 1914)

My Grandfather Joseph Barr, 7134, 2nd HLI was killed on 7th of November 1914, near Ypres, when his trench was invaded by a large number of Germans. He was one of a small number of casualties. He and his fallen comrades are buried in Oosttaverne Cemetery. This event was the one when Lt. W.L.Brodie won his VC, widely and wrongly reported as 11.11.1914 the day when 2HLI's CO recorded the full event in his diary. It is a big story and can be found on the Scotland's War website under the section Lanarkshire War.
