Thanks Clive. Just looked up what 7th Seaforths were doing when Haig was killed. https://www.15thscottishdivisionwardiaries.co.uk/7-sh As for Greenaway , he must have died of wounds from the Anzio beakout to be buried in Naples in August 44. His battalion were in Camp 22 , Tulkarm , Palestine on that date according to the war diary. They left Italy in July.
Just bumping this old thread. Would any kind members with access to casualty lists like to look them up & see what they can find. Cheers.
