Andrew Armstrong
« on: Thursday 21 May 15 15:39 BST (UK) »
Andrew Armstrong was a private in the Alberta Regiment, Canadian Infantry, service number 184030.
Died 1st October 1916 and buried at St Sever Cemetery, Rouen, B 15 19. I cannot find the grave on CWGC website and I wondered where else to look . Also, any information about him leaving Scotland for Canada would be helpful. Of the 13 names on Eckford war memorial (Scottish Borders) he is the third I've found who went to Canada, came back to fight and died. I'd be most grateful for any information.

I've just been emailed a page of information about him from a record I haven't seen before - he was born 6th Dec 1892. Will I find a photo of his grave somewhere? I struggled with the other two Canadian graves I looked for!
Thank you  for your help.
