206415 Pte. Alexander Ewan British Army 2nd Btn Seaforth Highlanders from:Burntisland, Fife, Scotland (d.13th Apr 1917) Alec Ewan is my wife's great uncle and he is buried in the military cemetery at Aubigny-en-Artois near Arras. We don't know much, but we do know he "died of wounds" so we suspect he succumbed to his injuries at a Casualty Clearing Station, of which there appears to have been three at Aubigny (No's 24, 30 and 42) around this time. The 2nd Battalion, Seaforth Highlanders were in action on 11 April 1917 between Fampoux and Roeux (part of the Battle of Arras) and we can only surmise that he was wounded there, removed from the field to the CCS where he died two days later. Alec was 19. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
