His next-of-kin are given as his father and mother then residing in Edinburgh. He enlisted for nine years with the colours and three years with the reserve so he most likely saw WW1 service. Any additional information welcome.

In good overall condition for age. Some light staining to card covers. 43 pages of printed material in total with useful service information included a template for a last Will which has not been completed (no point 'tempting fate', etc). Scarce.
