More about Ernest Hume
YOUNG DUNDEE SOLDIER DIES OF WOUNDS.
Private Ernest Hume, 1st Black Watch, has died of wounds received in the grim fighting of 9th May. Official Intimation of his death has been received by his mother, Mrs Hume, 5 Bernard Street, Dundee. Deceased, who had been five years in the army, was to have been married last Hogmany, but the ceremony had to be postponed, as he was despatched to France in November. He was 21 years of age, and previous to enlisting was a mill worker.
