9455 Corporal Adam McLachlan of C Company, the 11th Battalion, Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders was killed in action on the 8th March 1917. He was born in Paisley and was living in Glasgow when he enlisted. His number dates to around the 3rd June 1915.

Adam arrived overseas on or after 1st January 1916 and presumably remained in France until he was killed in March the following year. He was 28 years old, the son of Adam and Janet McLachlan, of Maryhill, and the husband of Elizabeth Devine McLachlan, of 113, Burnhouse Street, Maryhill, Glasgow.
