Obituary: In Loving Memory of

Pte. Alexander Black Machray

(Killed in action in France).

The sad news was received from official sources on Tuesday by Mr. and Mrs F. Machray, of Apton Road, that their second son, Private Alexander Black Machray, Royal Fusiliers, was killed in action in France on September 21st. On the same day the bereaved parents were the recipients of a letter from an officer in their son’s regiment supplementing the official intelligence. In this letter the officer wrote: “I deeply regret having to inform you that your son, Private A. B. Machray, was killed in action during operations of the 20th to 21st inst. As you have read, the Battalion was in an attack at this time and as almost all of the men in your son’s section became casualties, I’m afraid I cannot give you much information concerning his death. Although I have not known him for very long I had found his worth as a soldier and a man, and with his comrades he was very popular, and they wish to join me in this expression of deepest symphony.”

Deceased was a young man of considerable ability and had a promising career. Before enlisting he was employed as a clerk in office of the Town Surveyor Mr. R. S. Scott, and was a valued member of the Town Band. A member of a musical family, he was always ready to give his services to musical efforts in the town, while his hobby --sketching -- he proved himself to possess marked ability. In outdoor sports also he was a footballer of merit. Early in the war he offered his services, but was twice rejected before ultimately enlisting under the Derby Scheme in January, 1916, when he was attached to the Suffolk Regiment. Subsequently he was he was transferred to the Bedfordshire Regiment, with whom he went to France in July last, soon after which he was transferred to the London Regiment (Royal Fusiliers). He had only been in France about eight weeks when he met his death. In civilian life he was also employed by the Bishop’s Stortford Gas Company as a clerk. He was in his 24th year, and as a lad was a member of St. Michael’s Church Choir. His parents have two other sons serving, Private Frank Machray, in England with a labour battalion of the Suffolk Regiment; and Private Charles Machray, Royal Army Medical Corps, serving in Palestine. All three brothers, with their father, were members of the Town Band.
