22 May 1915 Quintinshill Disaster
Reactions to the tragedy
Newspapers reported the tragedy in Britain, and soon soldiers overseas learned of the terrible events. Private James Tracey, serving with the 13th Hussars on the Western Front, was deeply saddened by the deaths of so many of his Leith school friends. Just one week after the crash he wrote home to his mother Bridget in Leith: 'you have no idea how sorry I feel for those poor helpless young fellows who died, pinned beneath the wreckage... Giving my deepest sympathy to all the survivors at home.' Tracey was killed in action six weeks later on 12 July 1915.
