Good Morning Berenice...…

Can you tell me if the following man is on the BW memorial...…

7643 Lance-Corporal Robson, James

Thanks..... Mike

Mike, the only Robson on the memorial is Lance Corporal John Robson, died from disease. Could the memorial have an incorrect first name?

Berenice..... I think that the name on the memorial is incorrect and is James..... I have his Small Book and a Letter from his fellow soldiers where they have raised some money to have a bed in his name for a military hospital..... Mike

Hello Mike, Lance-Corporal J. Robson's name appears on this memorial in the Colesberg Military Cemetery

Lance Corporal Robson is also shown as John Robson upon the regiments memorial in St Ninian's Cathedral, Perth, a service of dedication took place on Tuesday the 5th of May 1903.
