Hi Alastair
Thank you for your response, we are always grateful for input from the Family. Yes you are correct the date should be 1917, the original date was taken from the 1920 Scone Roll of Honour which we used as a staring point before carrying out a more extensive research. As with a number of of entries in the Roll, we find those dates do not always match official records. We have now published an updated story for Francis. and will in time publish his younger brother Alexanders story, who was killed in 1916 during the battle of Beaumont-Hamel

Kind regards
Pete
