I see he is listed on the Polmont War Memorial. An A Burrell is listed on the Railway memorial in Waverley Station, Edinburgh. The same man?

SNWM has an Andrew (from Stow, Midlothian) and an Archibald (from Edinburgh) so chances are it's not Adam.
He is listed on the Channelkirk (his birthplace) Parish Church Memorial and on the Roll of Honour as Adam P Burrell.
Adam Pringle Burrell, born 1895 at Channelkirk, Berwick (SP) _________________ Ken |
