231022 Pte Michael Alexander British Army 6th Battalion Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) from:Lanark, Scotland (d.22nd Feb 1917) Michael Alexander was born in Lanark, Scotland on the 5th of November 1897. He enlisted in 1916 before conscription was introduced. He died aged 19 in the battle of High Wood near Thiepval and his body was never identified, so his name is on the Thiepval Memorial. Opposite High Wood is the London cemetery. There are un-named graves within that have the bodies of Cameronians, but no identification. It may be he is buried in one of these graves. His younger brother John was my Grandad. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
