Roderick Nicolson, 25 Borve

Quite a gloom was cast over the community by an intimation from the War Office to Mr Donald Nicolson, 25 Borve, that his youngest son, Roddy, was killed in France. Roddy joined the Seaforth Highlanders when a youth and took part in several engagements and was at home twice recuperating from severe wounds to the head and arm. The deceased was of a bright disposition and much sympathy is felt for Mr and Mrs Nicolson in their bereavement. The other sons on service are Murdo (Gordons) and Malcolm (Seaforths), both of whom have been severely wounded.
