Sgt. Robert Hamilton

Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 115 Squadron

from:Beith, Ayrshire, Scotland

(d.14th Oct 1944)

Robert Hamilton was the son of Alex Hamilton, known as Sanny and his wife Mary. Along with their six children, two boys and four girls, they lived in the small north Ayrshire town of Beith, Scotland. On the 14th October 1944 at approximately 23 years of age, Robert Hamilton was killed. My family lived in the flat above theirs. I was just a toddler at the time, but I do remember seeing Mary, clutching a piece of paper and coming to share the tragic news with my Mum. She was completely heartbroken at the loss of her son. Robert is interred at Reichswald Forest War Cemetery, Germany.

If any readers knew Robert during his time in military service and are willing to share those memories, it would be greatly appreciated.
