Pte. Andrew Turner
British Army Highland Light Infantry
from:Clydebank
(d.22nd Mar 1915)
My granny's brother, Andrew Turner joined the Highland Light Infantry at the tender age of 16, he was really just a boy. He was catapulted, like so many others, from the security of his home village and into the hell of the Western Front. He couldn't cope and therefore he deserted.
On returning home, he was recaptured and taken back to France. He died of his injuries on 22nd. March, 1915, just after his 17th birthday, and now lies in the Cabaret-Rouge British cemetery in France.
May he rest in peace!
