I have a letter from the Rev W A Gillies to one of his parishioners dated 22/3/1917 .
Has anyone come across this man. I have his MIC was just looking for more general info on him.
Was he a chaplain to a particular Bn?
He returned home after the war and was local minister up to 1949.
What was I.B.D ?
Any information appreciated
Cheers Mike.

Infantry Base Depot, I think
Thanks Barry.
I should have looked there first. I have quite a bit on him in Scotland, but am looking for more on his time in WW1.
Cheers Mike.
