My mother had told me a brief version of this sad tale but had described the drowning site as a harbour. My mother now has quite severe dementia so gathering further information from her is very difficult. Alec Snr served in the Royal Signals during WW1 and his wife Mary had been a nurse in South Africa and possibly in Canada. My grandfather served during WW2 and survived, finally passing away in the late 1970s.Although this is a very sad account of how my great uncle died, I am really pleased to have found it and can't thank you enough for posting it. I do have some photographs of James and both Alexanders. James was a very good looking boy and a much loved older brother.<br />Elisabeth Walkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-11029043023856349192023-04-20T18:20:02.971-05:002023-04-20T18:20:02.971-05:00I live at that very address now 344 Magnus I live at that very address now 344 Magnus Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-33660898289410745862022-11-08T17:23:16.589-06:002022-11-08T17:23:16.589-06:00I live at this very address right now I live at this very address right now Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-7011854303592530272021-10-05T03:43:05.638-05:002021-10-05T03:43:05.638-05:00344 magnus wow in 1923344 magnus wow in 1923Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12848693357173891354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-72649631799327944912020-06-24T12:22:03.417-05:002020-06-24T12:22:03.417-05:00Oh, how tragic!
