    Notes:

    From http://www.abdn.ac.uk/historic/mem_single.php?memid=64:
    Name Silver, Alexander
    Rank Private
    Regiment 4th Battalion Gordon Highlanders
    Biography Son of Alexander Silver; born Harvieston Farm, Kinneff, 14 September 1894 ; educated Gordon's College ; entered Aberdeen University to study Agriculture in 1912. At the outbreak of war he went with "U" Company to Bedford where he became a great favourite not only with his fellow-students but throughout the Battalion. Cooking for a company was no "catch" in those days, but "Sandy" cheerfully accepted the job with all the drudgery it entailed. In this capacity he left with the Battalion for France in February 1915. It did not take long under active service conditions to show that there was the real fighting stuff in Silver. After repeated attempts he got relieved of the job which afforded him comparative safety. Alongside his old fellow-students in the trenches, he was supremely happy. Hardships seemed less real when Silver shared them. He took part with the company in the attack from Sanctuary Wood (Hooge) on 25 September 1915 and was subsequently posted as missing.
