“I wonder if someone can help,” emails Fiona Hynds of Kinross. “There is an article in the Somme pullout about a Jim Wallace whose dad was in the Scots Guards tank platoon. His name was William Wallace.

“My husband’s great-grandfathe­r’s son was called Archibald Glen and died in Cambria, Luvenval. He was in the tanks and we have been to the cemetery there and put a Scots Guards wreath down.

“Subsequent­ly, my husband served 22 years in the Scots Guards. We have no photograph­s or much informatio­n on Archibald Glen but wondered if anyone can help?

“His army number was 9116. He joined the Scots Guards on August 11, 1914.”
