Kenneth Forbes Meiklejohn. 



Through an oversight, the death of Lieut. Meiklejohn, of 

 the 1st Cameron Highlanders, has not been recorded in our 

 pages. He was killed in action at the battle of the Aisne, 

 September 25, 1914. 



Lieut. Meiklejohn, who was born in 1885, was a son of 

 Lt.-Colonel J. F. Meiklejohn, late R.H. A. He was educated 

 at Rugby and entered the Army in 1901.. He was appointed 

 Adjutant of his regiment, the 1st Batt. Cameron Highlanders, 

 in March 1913. 



He was elected to the Union in 1913, and is the first of 

 our fellow-members who has fallen in the present war.

This is the ninth of the series of reports as originally 

 planned. A tenth will be issued this year, after which it is 

 proposed to summarize and digest the whole of the results 

 of the enquiry in a single volume. The present report 

 follows closely the lines of its predecessors and deals with 

 the autumn migration of 1912 and the spring migration 

 of 1913. In one respect the committee have been fortunate 

 owing to the appointment of Mr. R. E. Wilson to the 

 Caskets Lighthouse, so that they have at last been able 

 to obtain adequate returns from this station, which is 

 situated in the English Channel about eight mile's west of 

 Alderney. It is a most important point oq the line of 

 migration from England to the Continent, and the annual 

 mortality there is enormous. Efforts, we understand, have 

 recently been made to mitigate this by the supplying of 

 perches around the lighthouse on which the birds rest. 



The warm winter of 1912-13 appears to have induced a 

 good many of our summer residents to spend the winter in 

 the south and west of our islands, and this accounts perhaps
