The Allies fought doggedly on, enduring the stifling heat, thirst, and plague of flies, but were long, worn down by sickness and fatigue, they succumbed in hundreds to dysentery, enteric, and jaundice—this in addition to heavy battle casualties.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eTo the skirl of the pipes and with bayonets glinting in the sun, the 157th Brigade attacked up the slopes of Achi Baba in the battle of July 12th\/13th.

On completion of his apprenticeship he moved to Edinburgh as improver to Thomas Duncan Rhind, enabling him to attend classes at Edinburgh School of Art and Heriot-Watt College. He spent the following years as a draughtsman in various offices, and worked for H M Dockyard, Rosyth in 1911 whilst lodging in Inverkeithing.

He appears to have specialised in land surveying and levelling, but is credited with the design of the Type 26 tenement - the ‘broken roof’ model.

But I marvel most at the fact of my escape from even a wound. Passing through the village of Loos, we were heavily shelled, and I was knocked clean off my feet by the shock alone of a bursting shell, which passed clean through the wall of a house, but I was quite unhurt. At first one felt a little sick at the sight of the dead, but that feeling gave way quickly before the call to fight, and one was able during a lull to reverently cover the faces of the dead. It was my happy privilege to bandage up some wounded near me, to cheer them with a few words, and to give them a sip of water from my bottle. The enemy showed us only their heels after making a brief stand in their various lines of trenches. Our brigade went third into the fight, and were severely shelled and suffered somewhat from the machine guns. I remember charging up a hillside amid the terrific hail of bullets. Many beside me were wounded. The enemy tried gas shells on us, and these hindered our advance for a little, but on we went again, until relieved by another brigade. I am proud of my regiment to-day and of my brave comrades, both those who have fallen and those who are saved. There are many brave deeds done there, and Scotland has still reason to be proud of here sons. I am full of hope for the future success of our arms.”[1]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eLance-Corporal Noble wrote his letter to his father, Joseph, who lived at 28 Cardoness Street in Dumfries, describing his battalion’s part in the fighting at Loos and Hill 70.

He was mobilised with his Battalion and arrived in France on 5th May 1915. The 6th Battalion Seaforth Highlanders was part of the 152nd Brigade, 51st Highland Division (named as such from 11th May 1915). When it arrived in France, the Division was only partially trained, but nevertheless was thrown straight into the line. The 2nd Division attacked at Festubert on the 16th May and advanced about 600 yards. The Highland Division, including the Seaforths, relieved them on the night of 19th May and was given the extremely difficult task of clearing the battlefield and consolidating the position. This was made more difficult because it was only possible to dig in to the depth of a couple of feet because of the water level in Flanders. Breastworks were therefore required to give better protection from enemy fire. But these are easily damaged even by small arms and machine guns and required a great deal of maintenance. In addition there was little protection provided in a newly won position by barbed wire or covered ways. This was a terrifying introduction to life in Flanders for a newly arrived soldier. On 15th June the Brigade was again in the front line at Givenchy, although not part of the main assault. The Battalion was involved in giving covering fire for the 5th Seaforths who were attacking on the right. The attack went in at 6.00pm and was initially successful. But eventually the attacking troops were forced to retire due to lack of ammunition and reserves. The 6th Battalion suffered badly at the hands of the German artillery, which bombarded the trenches for three hours. They suffered 140 casualties that day of which 29 were killed including David.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eHe died on 15 June 1915, aged 20.

You have no doubt heard particulars of the fighting, and how well everyone did, and I have only to add that your son did his duty bravely, and gave his life for his country and for those at home. We lost many gallant comrades from the 14th to the 18th of June, but they are not forgotten, and a memorial cross has been made and inscribed with the names of all who fell. I hope to send you a photograph of the cross as soon as it is erected. Many of the men had to be buried where they fell, and these spots are marked with small wooden crosses, but the large cross is to be erected in the orchard where several are buried. May divine Providence help you and us in the day of trial. — Believe me, yours sincerely,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eJ.
