Old Photograph Soldiers Scotland

Old photograph of soldiers from Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. It is impossible to determine how many men from Fife were killed in the Great War. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission shows there are almost 500 Great War graves in 59 cemeteries in Fife itself. Months after the end of the war men were still dying of wounds and of sickness, particularly tuberculosis. Shell-shock wrecked many lives, sometimes revisiting men in their old age with memories of the war. Others faced a life of permanent disability or disfigurement.
