240420 Pte. William Bourhill British Army 7th Btn. Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders from:Musselburgh, East Lothian William Bourhill is my great grandfather, who served in the 7th Battalion Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders from the start of WWI. He fought with his battalion right through until being captured, and was sent to labour in a salt mine in Austria. He would never discuss his experiences in the trenches or the salt mines with the rest of the family. Up until the death of his eldest daughter (my great aunt), we had his Glengarry, medals, and other regimental paraphernalia, along with some other pictures and letters to my great grandmother. Sadly, however, these have been lost with her second husband's family clearing the house.
