Hello Cousin Janet Long time no hear! > In > Australia, it is very often the case that there are honour > boards in local areas, in halls, schools, etc. listing those > who served, and indeed  who made the ultimate sacrifice > in war.  Even in churches there are memorial boards, > listing members who enlisted/served.  I'm wondering > whether this would have happened in Scotland There are rolls of honour for some areas listing all those who fought, not just those who died. I do not know whether such a list exists for Baillieston. The Baillieston Memorial web site seems to list only those who died, as do the Scottish National War Memorial www.snwm.org and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission www.cwgc.org. The most likely place for James Wilson's service records is the National Archives at Kew near London, England www.nationalarchives.gov.uk. There is a guide to military records on the web site. However I understand that some of the WW1 records were accidentally damaged or destroyed and it may be that James Wilson's records are among these. On the other hand, his medal card might have survived, and if so it can be viewed. As you say, the problem is knowing which James Wilson is the right one. You also need to know whether he served in the Army, Navy or Air Force. Have you tried to contact Kirkcaldy Public Library? As you know the date of death, they might be able to find an obituary in a local paper. However I see that I don't have a note of where James lived between his marriage in 1923 and his death, and if he only moved to Kirkcaldy late in life there isn't likely to be an obituary there, and you'd need to look at the paper local to where he did live. There might also be something in the Dundee Courier and Advertiser, or even in The Scotsman, if he actually lived and farmed in Fife. I don't suppose this helps at all, because you've probably been down all these routes before. Best wishes Anne
