Pte. Alexander Abercrombie
Australian Imperial Force 4th Machine Gun Battalion
from:Wooler, Northumberland
I have no known details about my Grandfather's WW1 efforts except that he had injuries to his right shoulder and chest, due to gas burns sustained in France. His name was Alexander Abercrombie, he only had two war medals, plus a little medal from his home town of Wooler, Northumberland, so I was told he only joined WW1 in 1916 thereabouts.
His birth date was May 1899. He then emigrated to Western Australia in 1921 and joined the Australian Army in 1939 for WW2, as a trainer to soldiers, mostly on Rottnest Island, Western Australia, till the end of the war. He lived the rest of his life in Western Australia, marrying and having 6 children. He passed away on November 11, 1982.
