War Memorial - Eaglesham Scotland

On one of many occasions while stuck in a traffic queue in Eaglesham village I noticed the name, Margaret Watt on the war memorial plaque for 1939 - 45. As it is relatively unusual to see a woman's name on a war memorial I got curious and tried to look her up on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission web site to see what service she was in etc. There was no mention of a Margaret Watt.

Anyone any idea who she was and how she met her death?

I found her listed as a cvillian in the CWG Commission site:

Name: WATT, MARGARET BYERS Initials: M B Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Civilian Regiment: Civilian War Dead Age: 60 Date of Death: 16/04/1941 Additional information: of 5 Hazeldene Gardens. Died at 5 Hazeldene Gardens. Casualty Type: Civilian War Dead Civilian Roll of Honour Section BOROUGH OF BANGOR

There is a Margaret Byers Watt age 60 who died 16 April 1941. It gives and an address in the Borough of Bangor. Perhaps she came from Eaglesham originally.

There is a war grave locally (in the Highlands) for someone killed whilst working in a hospital in London.

Air raid casualty at a guess. In the dying embers of the Battle of Britain. The Germans didn't withdraw all of their bomber units from that effort until May 41 or so. Of course the major combat had ended by approx Nov '40 but sporadic stuff continued until the date given above.

Thanks for the responses.

It puts a proper perspective on things when one is getting mad at being stuck in traffic, late for a meeting, to be reminded how fortunate I am to be in that position.
