World War I memorabilia

"A large package of World War I memorabilia … included a "postcard size photo of the writer (David Thomson Service Number 1015148) in his full 72nd uniform 'kilt'" Pte. David Thomson, #1015148 went to France on 2 August 1917 and became sick on 23 September, 1917 and sent to England as a "B-3". He was too young to go over with the original draft of the 72nd but joined them later. He had previously been a Seaforth Cadet. THERE IS A LETTER FROM THE DONOR, DAVID THOMSON STATING THAT HE INADVERTENTLY INCLUDED A PHOTO OF HIMSELF IN THE PACKAGE. HE WAS REQUESTING THE RETURN OF THE PHOTO. IT IS NOT CERTAIN IF THIS WAS DONE OR NOT. THIS WW I MEMORABILIA WILL HAVE TO BE SORTED OUT IF EVER FOUND.
