Westcote
Acquaintance
Mentioned: 1917, 1918
Comrades in the field A dinner guest at the Club on December 18, 1917, and named a few days earlier on a "separate sheet" memorandum ("See Westcote"). A "Wescot (13 Corps Sigs.)" separately dines with Robertson on December 3: quite possibly the same man, but the spelling gap is wide and the encounter brief enough that this isn't confirmed here; left as a separate, unlinked mention rather than merged.
