The Sergeant William McKenzie mentioned on this stone is (thanks to a lot of research by Stuart - "Stewartry") believed to have served as
Charles Thomas Harris – age 32 – Corporal (19176) 13th Battalion, East Surrey Regiment.
Formerly served as William McKenzie, Private (7657) 2nd Battalion, The Seaforth Highlanders.
William was educated at the Glasgow Street School in Maxwelltown and enlisted in the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) in January 1902. He transferred to the Seaforths in August 1902. As a reservist, he re-joined his regiment on the outbreak of war. He served at the retreat from Mons and in other actions during which he was twice wounded. In September 1915 he was reported as having deserted. It appears that in May 1916 he re-enlisted as C T Harris of Dumfries in the East Surreys.
