Hi all
I have some late breaking findings on Alexander McCrimmon mentioned in these pages, in the War Graves section at Hooges.
I hope this info finds some links for you all and subsiquently me.
In Memory of
ALEXANDER McCRIMMON
Private
7294
1st Bn., Australian Infantry, A.I.F
who died on
Sunday, 16th September 1917. Age 46.
Additional Information: Son of Donald and Margaret McCrimmon. Native of Isle of Skye, Scotland.
Commemorative Information
Cemetery: HOOGE CRATER CEMETERY, Ieper, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium

He is my g Grandfathers or g Grandmothers brother. I am not sure because my Grandmother stated she came to Australia with an uncle, but never specified who was her actual father or mother, her name was Margaret McC.

His brothers and sisters and their locations in 1917 were:

Mary McC Glenbrittle
Isabella “ “
Allan “ Eymort
Kate Cameron Duart
Catherine McC Sydney
Marie Campbell Sydney
John McC Sydney
Dolima Lorimer Mulben (niece)
Margaret McC (mother) Glenbrittle

Father Donald was deceased and mother Margaret died sometime not long after Alexanders death in 1917.
I also doubt that he was 46 as stated on his grave because is Army papers (that he filed out) state that he was 40 and 10mths at the start of 1917 when he joined up.

Hope this info is useful to you and others. If anyone wants more info please ask.

Thanks
Robert McCrimmon Stobbie
