The Glasgow Roll of Honour 1914-1918 is now available online. It's free to download and lists over 17,000 Glasgow men who died in the war. It mostly gives their home or parents address. Some entries were submitted by companies so it is the firm's address not the family's which is listed.
See here: http://scottishmilitary.blogspot.com/20 ... -1914.html for a lot more information.
Thanks

Re: Glasgow Roll of Honour 1914-1918
Greetings Adam.
Thanks for the info.
Seeing it makes me wonder about all the stories behind the names. I wonder if therein too lies a corrigendum, like that of one of our SHARP families here in New Zealand, when the son who did not return, had signed on using his older brothers birth certificate details.
It was May 1988 before family were successful in surmounting the legalities, and the CWGC changed the initials on their memorials, and likewise the Auckland War Memorial engraving, at the Auckland Museum was changed.
William Campbell SHARP, aka Ronald Gordon SHARP, West Auckland, New Zealand.
In the Oratia Cemetery, on West Coast Road, is the Sharp family burial plot of, Humphrey Ewing Sharp, his wife Margaret (nee Laing) and their son John. Included on the main headstone, is a memorial to another son, killed in action on the Western Front, in World War One. The inscription reads,
“Also in loving memory of
12/3818 WILLIAM CAMPBELL SHARP
A.I.B. N.Z.E.F. 9th Reinforcement,
killed in France, March 26th 1918.
Aged 20 years & eight months.
Beloved son of H. E. & M. Sharp.”
