Long-lost postcards from Scots soldiers during World War One reveal the secrets of the fighting men, incuding marriage and starting families - but also tales of theft and bigamy. The treasure trove of WW1 postcards were unearthed from a small space on the roof in Stirling train station in 2021.
In the lead up to last year's Armistice Day, Network Rail shared the postcards publicly in a bid to uncover more information about the lives of the soldiers in the pictures. And now the rail giant has released new information about the lives of some of the now-identified soldiers who served in local regiments.
As well as the stories of service and bravery, the search also uncovered human stories of the men and offered insights into their lives beyond the army and back in civilian life. Ahead of Armistice Day tomorrow, Network Rail has released information about three soldiers: Captain and Quarter Master, Arthur James MacDonald; Private and Corporal, Walter Reddiford; 2nd Lieutenant John Neil Campbell.
