The family of a forgotten Angus soldier have spoken of their pride at finding out they are related.
Retired couple Ernie and Eva Orrock from Carnoustie said it was a shame they did not know of his existence until 2012.
Private George Turnbull Orrock of the 8th Black Watch was shot in the leg at the Battle of Loos in 1915, an injury from which he never fully recovered.
He died after a long illness in Arbroath Infirmary on November 29 1918 aged 24 and was buried with full military honours in Inverkeilor Churchyard.
However, the grave was unmarked and a new stone was only erected in February following a request to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
Patrick Anderson from Letham in Angus took a keen interest in the story after the new headstone was put up at the churchyard.
He discovered that Pte Orrock was not listed on the Scottish War Memorial index at Edinburgh Castle and set out to change that.
Mrs Orrock said yesterday: “We are proud of George. Although we never knew him he seems to have been a feisty young soldier who fought in terrible conditions and lost his life.
“We had started to research our family tree when we found out about Private George Turnbull Orrock.
“My husband Ernie and our son Craig were told by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission that they were the direct male family members left.
“It’s a shame we didn’t know of his existence until a volunteer got in touch.
“We have found out that he was my husband’s grandfather’s brother.
“We would like to thank Patrick Anderson for taking an interest in the story and doing his research resulting in his name being recorded in the Scottish National War Memorial.”
