The information that I have at the moment is Alexander Philip / Philipe or Philips Stewart he was a coal miner. Private No` 1918, 2/6th Scottish Rifles(this is from his marriage extract). He was married to Margaret Jane Gordon on the 23rd June 1916 at Dunedin, Motherwell Road, Bellshill his age on the marriage document is 23 which means that he would have been born around 1893. He was based at Terling camp Essex as this is his usual address On the marriage extract. My mother also said that he received a medal and my Uncle said he thought it was the Crue de Guerre although he never collected it, I have also been told the he was a cook ?? , my uncle also thought that he was born in Ireland although i have no information to verify this. I believe that he left the army in 1919 but have not yet verified this but in 1924 he was a Boiler maker Journey man. His fathers name is a mystery as it is Joseph Stewart on the Marriage certificate and Patrick Stewart on the death certificate, His mothers name was Margaret McKay or MacLay ??. Alexander died 27 November 1947 at 10 Cadzow Drive Mossend North Lanarkshire, Scotland. This is all the information that I have at the moment and as far as I am aware it is correct. Any help very much appreciated. Regards William Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
