18TH APRIL 1918 AGE 19
BURIED: CHOCQUES MILITARY CEMETERY, FRANCE
Nineteen-year-old Donald Robert Ross Thomson, 'Bertie', was the seventh of ten children of Donald and Margaret Thomson, of Govanhill, Glasgow. There were twenty years between the children. Bertie died of wounds in a Casualty Clearing Station at Bethune. It was his mother who confirmed his inscription on the War Grave Commission's form - a touching lament for her lost child.
