Thanks for acknowledging the post Irene. The photograph appeared, I understand, in the 10 May, 1918, edition of the Ardrossan & Saltcoats Herald, with the following narrative: -

“Mr and Mrs John McCallum, 85 Raise Street, Saltcoats, have been officially notified that their second son, Private William McCallum, died of wounds at a base hospital on 12th April.

He was 22 years of age, and before enlisting was employed in Nobel’s Explosives Factory.”


The subject, of course, was Private WILLIAM THOMSON McCALLUM, (22), Service No. 32304, Royal Scots Fusiliers - Theatre of war, France and Flanders - born and enlisted at Saltcoats; buried at La Kreule Military Cemetery, Hazebrouck, France (Plot 1, Row C, Grave 4), with the inscription - "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ"; son of Mr and Mrs John McCallum, Raise Street, Saltcoats.

I have no doubt you'll have all the above information. Also, the following photograph, but there's no harm in letting other Threetowners know that photographs of WWI Graves are often available online.
