Thomas McGinn DCM, RAMC

On 27 Sep 1917 it was reported in the Cumnock Chronicle that Corporal Thomas McGinn was presented with a gold watch at Skares in recognition of his DCM.

He was the son of John McGinn of 137 Skares. (Chronicle 17 Nov 1916) He had 2 brothers also in the RAMC James and Robert.

And in 1918 Tom McGinn was mentioned again in the Chronicle  as being home on leave and looking well.


This is his citation for the DCM 25 Nov 1916

1921-22 Post Office Directory. Could this be him living in Leith after the war?
