Pte. Robert Breton McFarlane
British Army 7th Btn. Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders
from:Kilsyth, Stirlingshire, Scotland
Our father, Robert McFarlane from Kilsyth, Scotland joined up 4 days after his 22nd birthday in March 1936. He was in the 7th Unit of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders. It is believed that quite a few other young men who he'd grown up with in Kilsyth, were in the same Unit.
After sustaining serious injuries in Dunkirk in 1940, he was medically discharged as permanently unfit for any form of military service. With thanks to the The Army Personnel Centre Historical Disclosures which recently posted us his Service File. It provided us with some previously unknown history and the dates helped us understand his life a bit more. Our father died in Australia in 1961.
