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).

This Is My Glasgow 3d ago

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.

This Is My Glasgow 3d ago

A memorial I came across in Cathcart Cemetery while looking for a different one. It details the deaths of all three sons from the same Glasgow family in World War I in a period of less than 12 months between September 1915 and August 1916.

Why didn't the other Central Powers have to pay reparations too? (Short Animated Documentary)

After World War One was over and the losing nations had seen their territory divided amongst the winners, there was still the matter of them having to pay reparations. As you'll know Germany was ordered to pay a lot of money to the Entente whereas the rest of the defeated Central Powers were ordered to pay either minuscule sums or even nothing at all.

The Life and Legacy of Milunka Savić, Serbia’s Most Decorated Female Soldier

Milunka Savić, born in Serbia, made history by disguising herself as a man to fight in the Balkan Wars when her brother was too ill to serve. She joined the Serbian army under the name Milun Savić, and for nearly a year, she fought undetected, demonstrating exceptional skill as a soldier and grenadier. Her identity was revealed during the Second Balkan War when she was wounded at the Battle of Bregalnica. Despite military laws barring women from combat, she insisted on staying in the infantry and quickly earned recognition for her bravery. During World War I, Savić gained international fame as a member of the elite 'Iron Regiment.' She was particularly renowned for her precision with hand grenades and her ability to capture enemy soldiers single-handedly, earning multiple prestigious awards, including Serbia’s Order of the Star of Karađorđe, the French Croix de Guerre, the British Order of St Michael and St George, the Russian Order of St. George, and the French Legion of Honour. After the war, she declined a comfortable life abroad and instead lived modestly in Belgrade, dedicating herself to raising over 30 orphaned children along with her own daughter. Although largely forgotten for decades, she was celebrated again in the 1960s as a national hero. Milunka Savić passed away in 1973 at age 84, leaving behind a legacy of courage, resilience, and selflessness.
