Sgt Patrick Dempsey
British Army 9th Battalion Cameronians
from:Wirral
My father Patrick Dempsey was a soldier in the 9th Cameronians and fought at Cheaux. His friend Ronnie Hughes was wounded and left for dead but I believe that my dad saved him. Due to the large number of casualties he was promoted in the field. Ronnie Hughes (known as Huggers because the Scots couldn't pronounce Hughes) died recently. Any information on either of these fine men would be greatly appreciated.
