Lt. Bruce Samuel Kirkland Guise-Moores MC & Bar.

My grandfather Bruce Guise-Moores, came from a military family, his father became a general and two uncles became colonels. He was awarded the Military Cross for getting men and horses out of a burning barn, under fire and a Bar to the MC for digging men out of a collapsed trench.
He enjoyed the camaraderie of the Army more than anything else. After the war he fought in Russia with the White Russians then posted to India, initially with the RGA then the Indian Army, before coming back to England. He left the Army in the early 30's being bored with peacetime soldering and joined the prison service, only to join up again in 1939, and served in Egypt.

My mother's father, George Gunn, was 38 when he was killed in action while serving in the 21st Siege Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery. He is buried in the Canada Farm Cemetery, but I have failed to discover the battle in which he died. My best guess is the Third Battle of Ypres, but I have no details.
I know little about my grandfather, other than he was a professional organist. As I child, I recall seeing a photograph of him in uniform and being shown his medals. I do not have these items nor know where they are. I am planning to visit his grave on the centenary of his death, and hope that by then I will know more about how and where he died.
Batman James McKinley Gunn
British Army 5th Btn. Cameronians (Scottish Rifles)
from:Bearsden
My grandfather, James Mckinley Gunn, was a member of the 5th Scottish Rifles. A note in a book on this outfit states he was Batman to the Colonel.
He died before my birth but, having an interest in military history, my Grandmother passed his badges and books to me. I recently attended a Scottish festival in Bridgeport, West Virginia, USA, and found it unusual that no-one there could speak of this outfit. My Grandmother represented it as famous (maybe only to her). I would like to make contact with anyone with knowledge or an interest in this outfit.
