Pte. Robert Burns
British Army Cameronians Scottish Rifles
from:Glasgow
(d.7th/8th March 1917)
My uncle, Robert Burns, served in the Scottish Rifles and according to the book in Edinburgh Castle War Memorial, died in France which is not right. He died in Thessilonika fighting I think Bulgarians. He was killed in a night raid on the 7th/8th of March 1917.
I at this time do not know his army number but do know his rank was private, nor do I know exactly what battalion that he was in
