Pte. Robert Hamilton Elder
British Army 18th Battalion Highland Light Infantry
from:Corn Street, Glasgow.
(d.18th July 1916)
Robert Hamilton Elder, the son of David & Janet from Glasgow, was one of thousands of young men who went off to the Great War never to return. He was lost to the memory of the family, until I came across his birth and finally his tragic loss with the 18th Highland Infantry in Flanders. He is remembered on the Theipval Memorial.
