Pte. Richard Thomas Knight
British Army 1st Btn. Seaforth Highlanders
from:Pontefract, Yorkshire
Due to several step-siblings in the family, grandad, Richard Knight left to join up when he was still underage, we believe at 16 years old, which was reached in September 1915. He served in Palestine, which makes me think he was with the 1st Battalion. He had no Scottish connection but a theory is that recruits were placed where numbers were low, hence he joined the Seaforth Highlanders.
