'HIS Roll of the sons of Lindsays who have served with the
forces of the Empire in the Great War cannot be regarded
as complete in extent or exact in every detail. Tlie
, difficulties of compilation have made some unintentional omission
I

of names and some error in statement unavoidable ; but no pains
have been spared to reach such completeness and accuracy as
wore attainable. In the case of commissioned oilicers the Navy
and Army Lists have been consulted. For the non-commissioned
otHcers and men no otHcial records have been available, except
I the Casualty Lists. These, for the most p-art, distinguish between
men of the same surname and rank serving in the same unit
only by the initials of their Christian names and by their regi-
mental numbers. In a Chin Roll fuller differentiation is
desirable, and has been given elfect to here whenever possible.
The Roll contains 626 names of Lindsays or suns of Lindsay
mothers. The latter are very few in number. That is because,
of those who might justly claim to be included on this title,
the Lindsay parentage has been known to the compilers unly in
these few instances. With a view to its ultimate completeness,
and for the revision of the Roll as it staiuls, it is hoped that
additions and corrections will be .sent to the Secretary of the Clan
Society, Mr R. A. Lindsay, S.S.C, 3 Howe Streot, Edinburgh.
Officers and men reported wounded number 202. Of these
some must bear through life a greviuus legacy from the war.
May there remain to them also in their sutfering and infirmity
the high-souled courage that sustained them in the ordeal of
battle.
Those reported killed in action or died of wounds number l-i-t.
Their clansmen cherish the memory of their lofty patriotism, high
courage, and noble self sacrifice ; and to the sorrowing relatives
of the glorious dead they tender tlieir reverent sympathy.
