Elder Son
This is Mrs. McVeigh's eldest son. He was a regular soldier in the 1st Battalion of the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders. He loved being in the army and was proud to wear the kilt with his uniform. He was 25 when he died on the beaches in France earlier this year. It was a very sad day in the McVeigh household when the telegram which told them that he had been killed, was delivered.

Mrs. McVeigh still cries a lot and is always worrying about her other son who is also in the army. Every time the door bell rings unexpectedly she jumps in case it's another telegram with bad news.
