Isaac McKinlay
| Rank | Not known | |
| Regiment | Not Known | |
| Military Service | Nothing is known about McKinlay’s military service except that the family gravestone describes him as “killed action 11th April 1917”. He is not listed anywhere on the CWGC web site under I(saac) M(a)cKinla/ey. The Scottish National War Memorial has a record for Private (9448) J McKinlay, 8th Cameronians who died on the correct date, 11th April 1917, and the Cameronians published Roll of Honour also lists this man, but the CWGC has no record of him. 2 Medal Cards have been found under the name Isaac McKinley but at least one of these men, and probably both, survived the war. The City of Glasgow Roll of Honour lists Private Isaac McKinlay, Highland Light Infantry of 31 McAslin Street (no date of death given) but there is no sign of him on the CWGC web site. It may be of relevance that McAslin Street, Townhead was formerly known as Albert Street (where the man on the stone seems to have been living in 1901 and 1911). | |
