1206638 Pte. John Barty British Army 1st Btn. Black Watch from:25 Alexander St. Dundee (d.9th May 1940) My late mother was Ann Hay Barty and 2 of her brothers - John and Robert were in the Black Watch Regiment. John appears in several Rolls of Honour and I have seen him appear in records at Edinburgh Castle, The Black Watch Museum in Perth and the City of Dundee. Robert appears to have died in 1940 in Glasgow from a heart condition. I intend to visit the Choloy Cemetry in the next couple of years. I am attaching photographs of both of them in uniform (don't know who is Robert and who is John) but can find no trace of Robert having served in the Black Watch. I also have a photograph of my grandfather John Barty in uniform but I do not know the regiment he was in. Is anyone able to help identify the regiment from the photo? I am researching my Scottish Ancestry now and would dearly love to know more about my relatives and the roles they played in the British Army Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
