5432: William Reid of Banchory Devenick and Alford, Scotland

<p dir="ltr">William Reid was my grandfather. He married Margaret Massie in 1915 when he was aged 31. He was an apprentice mason at Banchory Devenick, Kincardineshire, Scotland. A son was born in July 1916. It is assumed that William was conscripted in early 1916. I have a panoramic photograph of 274 Company at Plumstead taken in July 1918. William and Margaret had three children: Willie, Margaret and Rosabella (Rosie). I have two family photographs taken post war. The family lived in Alford post-war. William was a cycle engineer and sold records; he had his own business. It is thought he might have been shell-shocked. William died in 1932 of hypertension and haemorrhage.</p>
