Alexander Howie had been in the merchant navy and was awarded an O.B.E.(although I have yet to discover the reason for this award).
Alexander senior served on the Osiris II during WWI as an engineer and died from T.B.in Marseille in 1949 whilst serving on the Verand aged 71.
His son, Alexander died whilst serving with HMS Drake IV on the 17th of April 1943 aged 22. I have recently discovered Alexander jnr. was the son of my Godmother Florence Howie.
