he started business as a goods carrier. He married and had five children. He also became president of Carluke Rovers, a position he held until his death in 1959. Each year of his life, he received a telegram of thanks from the family of the man he rescued. He is buried, together with his wife Mary, at Wilton Cemetery, in Carluke. His grave is easily found, at the North Eastern part of the Wilton, as the headstone has the image of a VC engraved on it. His Victoria Cross is displayed at the National War Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh Castle, Scotland. In 2015, on the centenary of his heroic acts, a commemorative stone was laid in Carluke. A memorial stone was also laid at his birthplace in Armadale.
