Guest Mcardnas Posted 16 August , 2010 Share Posted 16 August , 2010 Alexander Marr GIBB was my Great Uncle who I am led to believe died in 1916. He was born on 24 July 1893 at 9 North Street, Glasgow. I remember as a child seeing a photograph of him in uniform in my Grandmother's house but that is the sum total of my knowledge of him. Any information would be gratefully received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
