Could someone please let me know whether an Alexander John Cumming shows up as being in the Seaforth 5th Highlanders in WW1? I've just had a letter from his daughter saying that he fought with them - I want to know if it's worthwhile paying for a months sub to Ancestry!
Five of his brothers also fought (and all 6 survived!) - and Alexander's daughter believes that James, Colin & Charles Cumming were all in an artillery regiment. I wonder whether any likely candidates turn up in a search?
I know that only about 1/3 of records survive - and so hopefully one or two of these do.
Thanks for reading!
