224673 Pte. Norman Bowes British Army 9th Battalion Highland Light Infantry from:Bearsden Norman Bowes must have been in the Territorials, probably just before the war broke out. I was told as a child that he was wounded in the hand, at the battle of Loos and invalided out.
He spent the remainder of his life, as far as I am aware, as an accountant, and died in the 70s. His 1914/15 star and the two war medals (Pip, Squeak and Wilfred?) are still extant.
