 There are no other details about Private Birnie.  However, just before Remembrance Day 1998 a Mrs Bernadette Smith contacted the author to enquire about whether a Private Birnie was buried in the cemetery.  It turned out that although Private Birnie was no relation to Mrs Smith she had in fact been named for him.  Mrs Smith was able to put a poppy on his grave.
