Notes
On the memorial his initials are shown as I.M. Simpson Sgt DCM, Royal Scots, on his family grave in Elgin he is shown as John Simpson Sgt, Royal Scots, DCM and in the Morayshire Roll of Honour he is shown as Sgt, John M Simpson, DCM, 11th Royal Scots with the same date of death as the family memorial, therefore the initials of I.M. on the Elgin memorial appear to have been completed incorrectly.
