Ronald C Bain

Private Robert Ronald Cochrane Bain (known as Ronald) was the eldest son of Cumnock born George Bain. His mother Jean Sturrock was from Kilmarnock.  He was born in London in 1892.

An announcement of his death and an obituary was printed in the Cumnock Chronicle of 15 Sep 1916.

He had been missing since the battle of Loos 25-26 September 1915 but not declared dead until September the following year.

He had worked for a time for his uncle Marcus Bain at Ballochmyle Quarriers. 

This is his entry on Ruvigny's roll of honour. (Think his birthdate is a year out)
