Pte. Robert Boyd Smith
British Army 6th (Perthshire) Battalion Black Watch
from:Crieff
(d.1st July 1916)
I understand that Robert Smith answered the call and volunteered along with his brother James in 1915 and joined the 6th (Perthshire) Battalion of the Black Watch Regiment which formed part of the 51st Highland Division that took part in the Battle of the Somme.
I believe that Robert was killed during the offensive on the first day.
