Isaac Christie Dalziel

Died on the 15/12/1918 at Coathill Sanatorium, Coatbridge through illness after being discharged on the 27/07/1918

Isaac arrived in France on the 02/05/1915. He is buried at home in Old Monkland Cemetery (see photos). Isaac was discharged on the 27/07/1918. We can assume due to his inclusion on the Memorial and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission that he died of illness received during service (also see his Silver Medal War Badge record). The largest element of the Army Service Corps was the Horse Transport section. Most Horse Transport Companies were under orders of Divisions, with four normally being grouped into a Divisional Train. Depots for the Horse Transport were established at Aldershot, Bradford (Yorkshire) and Woolwich. Letter prefixes on Service Numbers T1 to T4 mean that the man was enlisted into the first to fourth New Army depending on the number after the T. T4 was also used for men affected by the compulsory transfer in 1916 of men who were serving in Army Service Corps units of the Territorial Force on to regular army terms. I personally laid a Poppy at Isaac and his wife Jeanie's grave on the 27/03/2022 (Mother's Day). Isaac is also remembered on the Gartsherrie Church Roll of Honour (see photos).
