Pte. David Lewis

British Army 9th Btn. Cameronians (Scottish Rifles)

from:Wigan

(d.25th Sep 1915)

David Lewis was born in Wales, was a steel worker and moved to Wigan where he settled, married and had a family. He served and died with a Scottish Regiment, on the 25 Sept 1915 at the Battle of Loos. From various accounts I believe the Scottish regiments were one of the first regiments 'over the top' in this particular offensive. David Lewis, left a widow, 3 young teenage sons and a daughter who never knew him.

I just believe that all soldiers should be remembered, David Lewis was my granddad who I did not meet or know and I remember him on behalf of his widow, 3 sons and his daughter (all deceased).

In Memory of Private David Lewis, 16879, 9th Bn., Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) who died on 25 September 1915 Remembered with Honour on the Loos Memorial. Everyone a hero. Thank you

Cenotaph Plate, Wigan
