More about Alexander Rae Thomson

Prior to the Great War Alex served with the Royal Engineers for approx 8 years from 29th September 1899, mainly serving in South Africa. Alex was discharged in 1919 due to weak lungs which were a result of being gassed.

Information kindly supplied by Alexanders son, Harold Thomson.
