World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
Pte. Thomas Salton Murray
British Army 1st Btn. Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders
from:Edinburgh, Scotland
(d.14th Sept 1914)
Doing genealogy research of my mother's side of the family, I came across Pte. Thomas Salton Murray. I had already researched his brother, Cpl Andrew Murray MM, killed during the Battle of Cambrai, as my mother's middle name was Andreen to commemorate him. Both had joined the 1st Btn. The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders; Thomas in 1914 and his brother a little later.
The tragic thing is that neither body was found and therefore they did not have a grave; what this did to my great-grandmother is unimaginable. Fortunately, all seven of the other children survived. The family has a picture of each soldier and my cousin has the medals of both men.
Sjt. W. D. Murray
Army 2/8th Btn. Durham Light Infantry
Pte. W. F Murray

(d.22nd Sep 1914)
Walter Murray, Stoker 1st Class, served on HMS Cressy and died age 26 on the 22nd September 1914. He is remembered at Jarrow Library and on the Chatham Naval War Memorial.

Dvr William Murray
British Army 51st Highland Div. Royal Artillery
from:Aberdeenshire
Willy Murray transferred from the Aberdeen Police as a Constable to the RFA on 24 May 1915 and was disembodied on 17 May 1919 in Charlton. As boy he had worked on the farm with horses and on returning to the Police established the Mounted Police Unit in Aberdeen. He retired as the Superintendent of the Police having acted as Chief Constable during WW2 in 1944. He died in 1959.
Sgt William James Richardson Murray MM.
British Army 6th Battalion King's Own Scottish Borderers
from:Kelso
William Murray (born 1889) was named for a baby brother who had died, so, most of his adult life he called himself James or Jim. This means it is difficult to find him in Army records!
He joined 6th Battalion KOSB for WW1 - then seems to have been in 7/8th Battalion and after the War he had become a Sergeant and gained a Military Medal. He then remained a career soldier until 1937 when he became a reservist and then joined up again (this time in Royal Engineers) but was invalided out with the rank of Captain.
Cpl. William Murray
British Army 13th Btn. Middlesex Regiment
from:Cumbernauld, Scotland
(d.31st Aug 1916)
We know nothing about Willie Murray's war - just he was there as he was given as living in Kilburn, north of London on enlistment. And we know he was killed in action on 31st August 1916. He is the only WW1 serviceman on the Cumbernauld memorial who is not in a Scottish regiment. His sister Jane (my grandmother) carried the only surviving photo of him until she died.
Bmbdr. William Bernard Lane Murray
British Army 133rd Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Brighton, Sussex
(d.9th Mar 1919)
Will Murray enlisted in 1914 and waited until the war ended before marrying his fiancee Lilian. The marriage took place immediately after the Armistice on 17th of November 1918 and then, leave over, Will returned to France. Tragically, he was shot and killed on 9th of March 1919. The details of the incident are not known currently, but family stories suggest that it was murder or manslaughter by a fellow soldier rather than an accident. Our search will continue for any official reports carried out at the time.

Rudolph Muscat served with the 20th Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers and formally served in 65th Divisional ASC. He was killed in action on the 22nd of October 1917 and was posthumously awarded the British War Medal, the British Star and the Victory Medal. These medals have not survived in the family.
Rudolph Muscat was born in London in October 1888, the eldest son of German parents, his father had moved to England in 1872, his mother was born in Germany, they married in England is 1885. The 1911 Rudolph was living with his mother in Aldershot, working as a general carman. In 1912 he married Ethel Clifford in Farnham and joined the army in August 1914. In 1915 his only child was born, but the infant died, aged 3 months. Rudolph served first in the ASC and later transferred to the Lancashire Fusiliers. He was killed in action in Flanders on 22nd October 1917, the day after his 29th birthday. His body was later found on a war site and identified. He was reburied in the Cement House War Graves cemetery at Langemark-Poelkapelle, Belgium.
Shortly after Rudolph's death his mother died, it is said she died of a broken heart. Rudolph was one of three brothers who fought for England. His brother Edward died of injuries in Salonika in October 1918. The youngest son Paul was injured three times and survived the war. Family history talks of cousins fighting cousins. In fact the WW1 War memorial in the home village of Grossengottern Germany, shows that one of their German cousins was also killed in the war.
