Old Tom Posted 22 April , 2010 Share Posted 22 April , 2010 A relative has a photo of a soldier of the Black Watch. It is annotated with the date 10 March 1916 believed to be the day he was killed. His given name was Alvin and his family name possibly Harker or Stubbs. I would be grateful if any member can track him down. Old Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Tom Posted 23 April , 2010 Author Share Posted 23 April , 2010 Thanks for that. I don't sppose there were many Alvins in the Black Watch, a transfer to the MGC is quite possible, and the date of death I had was uncertain. Old Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
