ANXIOUS DUNDEE WOMAN.

Can any member of the 4th Black Watch (Dundee’s Own) give Mrs Morrison, 36 Hilltown, Dundee, any information regarding her husband, Private Alexander Morrison, whom she believes to be missing?

She has had no word from him for three weeks, and as he was always a regular writer every week she is therefore anxious concerning him.  Private Morrison served in A Company.  Thirty years of age, he joined the Territorials on the outbreak of war, being previously employed as a carter in Dundee.
