Pte. Andrew Logan Stirling
British Army Scottish Rifles
from:Airdrie, Lanarkshire, Scotland
I never knew Andrew Stirling, he was my grannie's brother. He married Euphemia Robertson MacDonald in 1914 and went to war. He also was in the Reserves since 1901. I believe he contracted TB and ulceration of the stomach from which he died in 1922. Two other bothers went to war in different Regiments. William Stirling in the 2nd Royal Fusiliers was killed in July 1916 France. Alexander Stirling was posted to Egypt WW1 (don't know the Regiment). He contracted rheumatic fever along with his fellow soldiers, eventually made it back being in 1917, seconded to an Ammunition Factory in Coatbridge, to help out, only to die from complications of his stomach illness in 1933. Their poor mother must have been devastated. She died in 1924 so only knew about 2 of them.
