Hugh Morrison, 5^th Royal Scots Fusiliers, son of Mr James Morrison, Slater, Townhead Street, Cumnock, is reported by a companion to have been killed at the Dardanelles on 26^th October. Private Morrison had completed his training as a Territorial before the war, but on war being declared he again offered himself to his old company. He was refused on account of the condition of his teeth, but being determined to get away with his companions, he had his teeth attended to, and on presenting himself again he was accepted. He left for the front with the first detachment. Private Morrison was in the team of Kilmarnock Springvale Junior Football Club.
