Private James J. McVary, Service Number 9017, 2nd Batallion, King's Own Scottish Borderers, died on 17 Dec 1914. He is memorialized in Panel 22 of the Menin Gate, Ypres. I have 4 questions: (1) Would the timing of the death of Private James McVary put him in the First battle of Ypres? (2) If not, would someone be so kind as to tell me where this unit was on 17 Dec 1914 and what battle they were engaged in? (3) If one is memorialized in the Menin Gate, does that mean he is among the thousands or tens of thousands who were buried where they fell and have no specific gravesite? (4) If (3) is the case, how is it one shows remembrance to a specific name on a this wall at Ypres? Many thanks. -- Alice
