SON OF HUGH AND JANE MCWHINNIE, OF 5, CARNOCK ST., GREENOCK, RENFREWSHIRE.

Joined up in 1914 with Kitcheners Army. “It is with deepest regret that I have to inform you that your son Harry was killed in action.  His behaviour up until the time he was hit was splendid, and his coolness under fire is being remarked on by his friends in the section.  As a soldier he was excellent, and as a man was greatly liked by the personnel of the gun teams.  His death was instantaneous, and we are all thankful that at least he was spared the pain of having to lie wounded.  The deepest sympathies from the machine gun section and from myself go out to you now at this time of bereavement. “
