Scottish, Irish Dead, English - Battle of the Somme

As I've said before I have little to no expertise in military research, but I have been following the recent stories of the battle of the Somme. It was horrible! The numbers are shocking, for many countries. And it's probably why I stay away as I can find enough carnage in my families without looking to military files. BUT I also understand that some families were very involved in the military, and you must learn all you can to enable you to search with knowledge. So hope this helps someone http://britishgenes.blogspot.ca/2016/06/scottish-stories-of-somme.html
