Biographical Information: "Roy", as he was known, was the son of John and Sarah McCaw. He had an older brother John (Ian), an older sister Helen (Ella), a younger brother Alistair and a much younger sister Margaret. He was raised in Anderston and Possilpark in Glasgow and hoped to join the Civil Service as both Ian and Alistair did after the war. His two brothers served during the war- Ian in the R.A.F and Alistair in the Navy, and their father was a naval seaman in the First World War.

Roy was a happy, loving boy who brought laughter to his family. He was just 19 years old at the time of his loss. He is still greatly missed and is survived by his brother Ian and his sister Margaret.
