Royal Engineers - Gazette 60 MSM help

[highland]

Hello again...I've been using your marvellous help in researching my Great-Grandfather, a CQMS in the REs, Alexander MacGregor 135339 and WR/501440

The Gazette No. 60 is indicated with his MSM, I understand these can be hard to search and I'm finding this is so; any tips?

Have tried Mac and Mc, ‘A.(full stop)’…etc….

With many thanks

Gazette 60 is "18 or 24 or 30 January or 22 February 1919" per the NA list.

I've searched these dates with both Mc and Mac spellings and can't find the entry...just wondered if there were any tricks / if I was doing something wrong...will maybe try again with fresh eyes in the morning...

Thanks for the lightening reply!

Alright, then try this:

LG 18-1-1919

WR/501440 Coy./Q.M. Sit. MacGregor, A., Inland Water Trans. (Ellesmere Port).

Oh my word

I can't thank you enough, and I only asked minutes ago...I'm already looking up 'Inland Water Transport' and filling in yet more of the picture.

Thank you for your help you've saved me hours of non-broadband torment, I don't know how you got that so quick when I drew a blank.

With many kind regards...(I'm 'phoning to wake up my Mum as I type to tell her the latest!)
