That James Waterston death is not military - it's a death at sea ("Marine Return" is the clue). He was master of the ship Perthshire.

Ah Ok, thankyou for enlightening me

If he was a serving soldier, this could possibly be his death.
I know spelling of his name is slightly different, but would be worth a look

I also found this newspaper clipping.....it does seem to be the same Andrew.....but there's been no mention of him being a University graduate.
Hopefully this doesn't confuse things  :-\

It's from the Lewiston Evening Journal
Nov 26th 1897
