Nicol Thomas Findlater, a labourer, enlisted on the 21st of September 1914.
He was 32 years and 4 months of age, 5 foot 6 inches tall with dark complexion, brown eyes and dark hair.
He was born on the 27th of May 1882 at 3 Falconer’s Lane, Nairn, Nairnshire, Scotland to parents James Nicol Findlater and Margaret nee Bowers.
Next of kin on his attestation paper was his brother, James Findlater of 22 Huon Street, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Nicol Findlater was my third cousin three times removed. His great grandmother, Helen (Forsyth) Nicol was a sister of my 4 x great grandfather Alexander Forsyth
I’m fairly sure from looking at the Infantry records that Nicol was killed at Ypres.
From this website, you can order a copy of the page from the Book of Remembrance on which your soldier is listed.
I ordered a copy for Nicol Findlater and it arrived in the mail the other day.
What a wonderful service.
We Will Remember Them.
