On 30 December 1915 it reported: We have the pleasure of reproducing the above photographs of four sons of Mrs Paton, Threemark, Stoneykirk, who are serving their King and country in the Army. William is a piper in the Seaforth Highlanders, and has been seven years in the army. He went from India to France on the outbreak of war, and has been wounded on two occasions. The other three enlisted since the outbreak of war. Henry is in the Scots Guards, and is at present "somewhere in France". John and James are in the Ayrshire Yeomanry, and were drafted to the Dardanelles. Their father, we understand, was a soldier for 21 years.
