(d.2nd Nov 1914)

My grandmother, Annie McClellan, married Robert Mclaughlin in 1908 in Carlisle. They quickly had two children in two years and were living in Swansea in 1911 where Willie is recorded as a nickel worker. The family came back to Carlisle and when war broke out in 1914, Willie quickly enlisted in the 2nd Battalion, Border Regiment. He was 29 years old (born July 1885.) He died on 2nd of November 1914 and his name appears on the Menin Gate.
