My great uncle William Joseph Dowling was from Middlesbrough but he enlisted in Dingwall in Ross-Shire.
He was sent to France in November 1915 and was injured during the night of the 26th October 1916. The telegram to his mother states that he suffered a serious head injury.
He died the next day in 26 General Hospital, Etaples and is buried in Etaples Military Cemetery.
