Looked up to these two brothers as a kid. Still do! They’ve been through highs and hell, though still know how to kick life in the ass when it’s needed. Keep going Lads! Great to see ya back! @mattgoss @LukeGoss
An unknown Scottish soldier who was killed in Sicily during the Second World War has been identified thanks to research carried out by his great-grand-nephew.
Corporal Gilbert Nay Hamilton, from Lanarkshire, died near Gerbini on July 21, 1943, while serving with the 7th Battalion Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders.
The 22-year-old received a hasty burial and, though a cross was erected showing his rank and regiment, all details of his identity were subsequently lost.
In March 1944, the remains of an unidentified Corporal of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders were exhumed from a field grave near Gerbini and moved to the Catania War Cemetery.
A named identification proved impossible and so the man was buried as an unknown corporal.
83 years on he was identified thanks to research by one of his descendants and, on Tuesday, his grave was rededicated in his name, with a newly inscribed headstone making a permanent and personal memorial to his sacrifice 👇

457 British personnel lost their lives in Afghanistan and thousands more and their families now live with the lifelong physical and mental impact from service in that conflict.
