James P. Gilmour’s death is given as 16 Sep 1914, but his parents put a notice in the Dundee Courier in Aug 1915 asking for any news of their missing son, and stating he was reported missing on 14th September 1914 (http://bit.ly/1oUBtWU). Thank you for your fascinating blog and for sharing the information you have.
Thanks so much for sharing the link with more info about Pte Gilmour! It was not uncommon during the war for it to take a long time for deaths to be officially reported. It is possible that Pte Gilmour’s death was not confirmed until much later in the war and then updated in the records, or that some sort of administrative error or confusion led to his being mistakenly reported missing and later corrected. Very interesting though, thanks again for sharing.
Thank you 🙂
