Pte. James Williams Oman
British Army 4th Btn. Seaforth Highlanders
from:Armadale, West Lothian, Scotland
(d.19th Sep 1917)
My great-grandfather was James Williams Oman. Here is the information that I know so far:
Mrs Oman received a letter from Private William Brodie, Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, and her husband's chum, to the effect that her husband had not returned after a recent engagement, and it was feared he was killed. Shortly after receiving this letter she received another letter from one of her husband’s officers to the same effect, but stating that nothing definite could be stated, since no-one had seen him fall, and it was hoped that he had been taken prisoner.
