    Biography contributed by Geoffrey Gillon

    He is remembered on the Peterculter war memorial, which  is a tall rustic castellated tower built of granite rubble with rough-hewn quoins on a rubble plinth with the commemorations and names of the dead in two grey granite tablets set into the sides. The memorial stands on the North Deeside Road on a hillock to the  west of Peterculter and to the north of the former Culter Mills site.
