Iain Anderson , Regional Supervisor Scotland for the CWGC has notified me that on 27 September 2010 the Commission erected at PERTH (Wellshill ) Cemetery Perthshire their headstone relating to 2nd LIEUTENANT ALEXANDER DALE MUIR , 6th Black Watch who died on 12 April 1917 the son of George & Margaret Love Muir . The headstone was erected at Parochial 2 , Section E , Lair 11
There may be a Black Watch Association ceremony at the graveside in due course arranged by Major Ronnie Proctor MBE in conjunction with Iain Anderson of the CWGC . Mark Duffy who did the initial extensive search to prove this Officer was a CWGC casualty has been informed of this update . Thanks also go to Jim Grant in Aberdeen for his assistance in this Officers research and I will keep you all posted on any updates I get from the Black Watch Assoc and the CWGC and hopefully any family members traced and invited as there will be family living Canada as well . |
