Pte. Robert Thomson
British Army Highland Light Infantry
from:Glasgow
My mother-in-law was adopted and has now recovered her adoption records. They have disclosed that her father was Robert Thomson of the HLI. Her mother lived in Forfar and we presume my mother-in-law was conceived in December 1943. The records further show that Robert Thomson admitted to the Regiment's padre that he was the father of the child. However, he was posted abroad and never seen again. He came from Glasgow and may have been posted to the Forfar area for training. Would anyone have any information leading to the identity of Robert Thomson from this information? Any information would be appreciated. My mother-in-law is 67 years of age and would like to find out more about her natural father.
