Douglas Gilmour fought with the Seaforth Highlanders, and is buried in the Bailleul Communal Cemetery Extension, not far from Lille in northern France, where I've been spending part of the summer each year. Unfortunately I don't have a photograph of that particular headstone.
Wow! What's the odds huh?
You think maybe next time your there you might be able to take a photo of his headstone?

Thanks for catching that Anne. 
Yeah, I doubt 1891 as well. Looking at him I'm picturing right around 6 yrs of age, which would make the photo more likely around ca.1897.
