Alec/Alexander Watson born 1892 Darvel, Scotland - by 1943 in Woodstock, Ontario
« on: Wednesday 25 January 23 09:24 GMT (UK) »
I would love to trace the descendants of Alec/Alexander Watson born 1892 Darvel, Scotland - fought with the Cameron Highlanders and had emigrated to Eden Ridge, Woodstock by 1943 according to his Pension Record.  I have already had a letter printed in the Woodstock Sentinel but received no replies. I have no personal connection with them but would like to alert them to a poem written about him when 'recovering' from his injury.  Thanks for any advice on where else to try.
