JOHN KEMLO Private 241010, 4/5th (Angus & Dundee) Battalion (Territorial Force), Black Watch (Royal Highlanders) Killed in action on Thursday, 27th September 1917. Age 19. Born at Montrose and enlisted at Brechin. Son of James Kemlo, of 2 Wellington Park, Montrose, and the late Betsy Kemlo. ZANTVOORDE BRITISH CEMETERY Buried in Belgium, Zandvoorde British Cemetery, Plot 6, Row L, Grave 6 Cemetery is 8 Km south-east of Ieper (Ypres) near the village of Zonnebeke, West Flanders. Name is recorded in the Edinburgh Castle records in Scotland John falsified his birth records in order to get accepted into the Black Watch. Even went outside his local community of Montrose to enlist so the recruitment officer would not know him, his family, nor his age. Officially recorded as being 19 when he died, he was reported to be only 17. (Still looking for his official birth certificate) (Whatever age, he was too young to died). Killed in the action known as the 3rd Battle of Ypres during a counter attack by the Germans. He was fighting along side the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Lest We Forget David Kemlo
