(7) John Logan was born in Glasgow, Scotland, 10 December 1870, a cabinet maker by trade whose father had served with the 93rd Foot, The Thin Red Line, in the Crimea. He joined the Seaforth Highlanders on the 12 December 1892, undertaking basic training at Fort George, Scotland. His first posting was to the North West Frontier where he served for three years (receiving the India Medal 1895-1902 with the clasp Relief of Chitral). He served in Crete from March to November 1897 and Malta from November to January 1898 when the Battalion was sent to Egypt. He fought at The Atbara, 8 April 1898, and at the Battle of Omdurman, 2 September 1898 where he was severely wounded by a Gun Shot Wound to his left side – “Captain Egerton was at his side as he fell bent down and cut away his kilt, then called for stretcher bearers” – when the bullet entered his side part of his kilt, the thick overlap part, was carried into the wound, this it was thought plugged the wound and stopped him from bleeding to death. He was sent back to England in a hospital ship and convalesced at Netley Military Hospital and was presented to Her Majesty Queen Victoria and her daughter Princess Beatrice when they visited the hospital, talking to Private Logan for five minutes about his wound and the Kilt that had saved him. He showed them the bullet which had been extracted from his side. Princess Beatrice enquiring if, at her expense, he would like it silver plated, an offer he declined. This incident reported in his local Scottish newspaper. On return to his Regiment he was thereafter known as “Plug Logan” after the incident with his kilt. As his period of engagement was coming to an end the Boer War was just starting in South Africa, he remained with the Colours, was mobilized and sailed with the 2nd Battalion to South Africa on the 21 October 1899 taking passage in the “SS Mongolian” landing at Cape Town. He was present at the battle of Magersfontein as part of the Highland Brigade where he was wounded and taken prisoner; he was captive for about a month before being freed by the British Forces. He was returned to England at the cease of hostilities and returned to Fort George to await release and transfer to the Army Reserve which took place at the beginning of 1903. He joined the Territorial Army in 1913 joining with six or seven other ex-Seaforth’s, one of them his brother-in-law, Hughie Wilkie, the 6th Battalion the High Land Light Infantry choosing this Regiment as it wore the McKenzie Tartan kilt. The Battalion remained in Scotland after the start of the Great War proceeding as part of the 51st Lowland Division to Gallipoli, Pte Logan landing on Helles Beach on 6 June 1915, he took part on 6 August 1915 in the attack on Achi Baba, however the Adjutant “McPhie”, told Logan to “stand down as he had a wife and six children”, the Battalion suffered very heavily in the attack attaining the Turkish Trenches for only a short while. On their return to the British Line it was found that Hughie Wilkie, John’s brother-in-law was missing. John immediately went out into no-man’s land to look for him tending to many of the Battalion’s wounded as he searched. Eventually Hughie returned to the lines on his own. Contracting Dysentery whilst on the Peninsula he was evacuated to England to Stobhill Hospital, Glasgow in October 1915. Pte Logan was discharged from the Army in September 1916 being no longer fit for further military service. During the German Spring Offensive of 1918 the fitness rules were relaxed and at the age of 48 John Logan enlisted in the Royal Air Force and was serving in France on 11 November 1918 being transferred to the “G” Reserve on 3 March 1919. His greatest regret of Army life was that whilst recovering from his wound in Netley Hospital after the Battle of Omdurman his tin box containing his India Medal and the bullet that wounded him were stolen. He died in Scotland 16 November 1938, aged 67. Sold with copied family history and copied photographs of Pte Logan in uniform and his wife Agnes Logan nee Wilkie, who he married on 11 November 1903.
