Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) from:Govan Glasgow (d.10th Mar 1915) One of my Great Uncles, James Reilly, was born in Greenock and lived in Govan prior to enlisting, he did not originally enlist in the Cameronians and he is reputed to have transferred when he found out his younger brother Frank had enlisted with them. whether or not they again met is not clear. James Reilly fought at the Battle of Neuve Chapelle on 10th March 1915 and the regiment suffered many losses on the first day. As there is no grave to mark his passing, he is commemorated at Le Touret Memorial. I for one will forever be grateful to both Frank and James. R.I. P brave Warriors.
