Guest Livingstone Posted 24 January , 2010 Share Posted 24 January , 2010 Could someone tell me how I would be able to access any information on my Grandfather Alexander McColl who died in WW1. Is there any personal information I can get on the internet as I live in Canada and unable to go to the UK at the moment. I am not sure just exactly how much information is to be found on the internet but would certainly like to find anything I can about him. Alexander McColl, Pte 8921, 1st Bn., Gordon Highlanders. Alexander died 26 August 1914 and is buried in the cemetery at La Ferte-sous-Jouarre Memorial Seine-et-Marne, France. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland and married to Lillian Mann and had two children. Any information would gratefully be received. Thank you Wilma - Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
