Lt. John Rogers D.C.M.
British Army Gordon Highlanders
from:685 Garscube Rd., Glasgow
(d.13th June 1918)
My Great Grandfather, John Rogers D.C.M./Gordon Highlanders 1895-1918 died at the 1st Scottish General Hospital, Aberdeen on the 13th June 1918 of "Cut throat Haemorrhage shock". We believe he was assaulted in Callander possibly a week before. We have tried police and court records but have had no success. Nothing was recorded as far as we know. The Hon. Curator of the Tayside Police Museum believes the the Army would have conducted their own investigations but the Police Sergeant stationed at Callander would certainly have had knowledge of the assault. I have contacted the Scottish National Archives and been to the National Archives, Kew but again had no success. Would anybody have any ideas where I could collect information regarding the assault and his hospital record?
