Hi Russell,
You previously asked about Military connections to Sir William Drysdale of Pittenchar and gave me a link to Lieutenant-General Sir William Drysdale KCB.
https://www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/9thlancersdrysdale.htm
It seems that this gentleman was the nephew of Sir William - via his brother Major James Drysdale:
National Library of Scotland - British Military lists
https://digital.nls.uk/british-military-lists/archive/103821054?mod...
There is also another military gentleman of note in this family line (yet another William) - a Lt. Col. William Drysdale - who was the great nephew of Sir William, via his brother John Drysdale of Kilrie. He died in France in WW1 in the battle of the Somme:
He has an interesting web page on the find-a-grave website (2 separate entries) which also includes details of his son - Wing Commander James Kenneth Montague Drysdale who died in WW2 when his wellington Bomber was shot down during a raid on Le Havre in France in 1941https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/15290555/william_w-drysdale

After numerous consultations with Ronald,3 letters to Lauren and 1 to Harold B Lee library at BYU, 4 more to F.A.G. support-the powers that be transferred Sir William Drysdale memorial to myself. William or Ronald- what have you seen as far as his Military standing ? I am currently working from my cellphone- no power.

As I said Harold b Lee at BYU from the top down... one has to accept messages last I read the rules on there.

I thought I would contact Lauren on Find-a-Grave to check how my suggested edits were progressing, but it seems that she is no longer accepting messages.
It would appear that Lauren has decided to stick with her position and is battening down the hatches.
So I thought I would upload Sir William's official ScotlandsPeople burial record to the Find-a-Grave website. This record shows that Sir William Drysdale died from Dysentery in 1843 at the age of 62.
Best regards

Ronald I put in a request to Findagrave on Thursday [06/13/2024] right after yours. They seem to be ''processing a backlog'' Thank you for contacting Find a Grave.
We have received your email. We're currently processing a backlog and will get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, please check out our support site, which has detailed instructional articles and answers to frequently asked questions. Thanks for your patience and understanding!So I wrote support as well- and the Harold B. Lee Library at BYU.
