McTavish Family in WW1

Thanks to some excellent results from recent research I have been in regular contact with our extended MCTAVISH family. Thanks to Thomas McTavish for sending me this photo of his grandfather, THOMAS NELSON MACTAVISH. 



He had served in WW1 in the Argyle & Sutherland Highlanders, joining up at 14 and was wounded by gunshot to the wrist in 1917. Thomas says.."7 days a week Grandad used to walk from George Street to the War Memorial at Oban, to think of his friends on the memorial that he lost, he was a great man , he had his Highland character and was a strong highlander."
