His elder brother, Walter, had died around seven months earlier on the Western Front at Loos in France (where Rudyard Kipling's son John was declared missing in action, a loss immortalised in Kipling's poem My Boy Jack), while a few months later, his younger brother, Struthers, died at the Battle of Romani on the Isthmas of Suez in Egypt (the last battle in the campaign to defend the Suez Canal from German and Ottoman troops).
Born in Kinning Park in 1887, Matthew Findlay was educated at Glasgow Academy and moved to New Zealand in the early 1910s. While there, he signed up for the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, where he served as a Lance Corporal with the Wellington Infantry Regiment. He was injured at Gallipoli (one of over 250,000 allied casualties in the campaign) and returned to his native Glasgow where he later died from the wounds he'd recieved.
