"Another Crimean veteran dead," Inverness Courier, May 3, 1912, p. 2e.   "A Crimean veteran well known in the Shettleston district of Glasgow - William Hugh Thomson - has died at Arthurlie, Dunoon, in his 79th year. He served in the 77th Middlesex Regiment throughout the war, and was present at the battles of Alma, Inkerman, and Sebastopol. At the siege of the last-mentioned stronghold he was wounded in the jaw by part of a shell, which he kept as souvenir of the engagement. It weighs about a 1/4 lb. He wore the British and Turkish medals for the campaign. For 35 years Mr Thomson was in the employment of Messrs Wm. Beardmore & Co. at Parkhead Forge."
