More about David Fraser
David Fraser lived at 2 Wilkie’s Lane in Dundee and died an accident in August 1915 onboard the SS Orteric. The 1915 Crew Lists for the Orteric are not online so cannot be checked yet for any further information on the Orteric. She was later sunk whilst on passage in the Mediterranean in December 1915.
The 1914-15 Dundee Directory has an Alexander Fraser (coachpainter) also living at 2 Wilkie’s Lane.
