Found in Scotlandspeople SR birth certificate

Info from Tara McSkimming

I have found two Attestation papers for James McSkimming joining the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary force. The Attestations were made on different dates and James's date of birth was different on each attestation.

However, I believe that both attestations were made by this James because they both give the same occupation (Stone Mason), the same place of birth (Gatehouse) and the same address town for next of kin.
