Hi Penny,
Adam Dickie was my Great-Uncle and his brother Robert fought together at the Battle of Messines in 1917. Sadly Adam did not return, but his brother, (my Grandfather) returned to Australia, injured. He married and raised a family of 5 children in Brisbane, Queensland. Robert never returned to his birthplace in Stevenston, but always acknowledged his proud Scottish heritage. His descendants vow to visit this special part of Scotland one day.
Thank-you for marking this significant Centenary in our family's history.
A warm welcome to your Dickie family, Adam.
Hope this leads to contact with a few cousins in the three towns.
