L/Cpl. Joseph Smith
British Army 6th Btn. Seaforth Highlanders
from:Rothes
According to the Moray Roll of Honour my grandfather, Joseph Smith, enlisted in Elgin on 13th of October 1914. As he was born on 4th June 1899 that would have made him 15 years 4 months & 9 days old at the time. The Roll of Honour only states that he served in France. I would really like to know what such a youngster could have been doing to have earned a promotion to L/Cpl before he was demobbed. One thing is for sure, he enlisted as a boy but demobbed as a man.

L/Cpl. Leonard Smith

I am just researching my grandfather's war record. I can see from his roll card he went to France on the 15th of March 1915 aged 18. My mother tells my she knows he fought in the Battle of the Somme but that is all I know at the moment. Either in this war or the next he was shot in the knee. My granddad was a quiet thoughtful man and a wonderful accordion and piano player.
