James Johnston "My grandfather James Johnston is seated. He died in April 1918 and was awarded the MM, posthumously. James in the West Port, Edinburgh then moved to South St James Street when he married." Isaac McMechan "Isaac McMechan, James' brother-in-law, is standing. He died in March 1918. Isaac was born in the Grassmarket, Edinburgh. He did not marry. Donald Johnston: St Mary's, New South Wales, Australia: June 3, 2010 |
