First World War veteran added to roll of honour

An Ayrshire war hero is to be commemorated at Glasgow University – 100 years on from the end of the Great War.

William Turner, who was born in September 1876, was well known in his adopted town of Saltcoats after he set up a medical practice.

Now 100 years after his death, Captain Turner will be among 19 additional names added to the university’s roll of honour in November.
