216409 Cpl. Robert Bruce British Army 2nd Btn. Durham Light Infantry from:74 William St. Hebburn on Tyne (d.26th Apr 1918) Not a lot is known about Grandad, Robert Bruce. Grandma, Ann Elizabeth Bruce said he was a 'wrong 'un' and disposed of all paperwork, photos, etc. Several family members are trying to find out more details but not with much success. We know he was 42 when he died on 26th April 1918 and his name appears on the Tyne Cot Memorial. Any help would be appreciated. Additional Information: | The steel of the Dli page 251 gives you an account of your grandfathers death at Hooge crater. Your grandmother Ann was my great grandmother, I remember visiting her with my grandmother Harriet your fathers sister. I am the son of Robert Bruce Scott from Hebburn.David scott
