7337 Company Sergeant Major Robert McGarvey of the 7th Battalion, Royal Scots Fusiliers, died at home on the 24th October 1914. His number dates to 1902 and at the time of his death he was one of those few, influential and experienced NCOs charged with turning a battalion of Kitchener recruits into a fighting force. He presumably died as a result of sickness and is buried in Aldershot Military Cemetery.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
