Add Information to Record of a Person who served during the Second World War on The Wartime Memories Project Website

244217 Pte. John Livingstone Seaforth Highlanders 2nd Battalion from:Newtongrange (d.31st January 1943) Today, 25th October 2017, I opened up a Midlothian New Battle Newtongrange history post. On looking at the first picture I saw the name John Livingstone on a short list of the dead. John died on 31st of January 1943 long before I was born, but I remember my family mentioning my dad had an elder brother who was killed in the Second World War. I decided to investigate further and found this was indeed my uncle John, son of my late grandad Adam and gran Margaret Livingstone from Mansfield Newtongrange. John died of war time injuries in Tripoli, Lybia and his grave is in the war cemetery of Tripoli. I was glad to have made this discovery and there was, if my memory serves, me correct mention of John receiving some form of medal. To my knowledge no one in our family has been to Tripoli and honoured my uncle John. One day when all the recent conflict has ceased perhaps I can rectify this and place a token of some gesture at his marked grave. God bless the uncle I never knew but can still honour and be proud to call my uncle. Sadly I own no photos of my uncle John.
