235035 Pte. Robert McCallister British Army 8th Btn. Royal Scots Fusilers from:Blackburn, Lancashire (d.19th Sep 1918) Bobby McCallister was the younger brother of my grandfather Joe McCallister. Originally I understand he was in a different unit to Bobby but later he transferred to the same unit to join him. Bobby was killed at Pip Ridge during the Battle of Doiran in Greece. Family stories say that both brothers attacked together on that day but it was only when my grandfather returned that he found out his younger brother had been killed. He allegedly was shot in the neck, but I think that was often said as a way of thinking they hadn't suffered. Both brothers went up the hill but only one came down. Days later the enemy abandoned their positions and a couple of weeks later the war was over.
