Alexander Raeside Marshall was the 5th sibling born to parents of Thomas Marshall and Elizabeth Marshall (Nee Raeside) in Glasgow, Scotland. His Grandparents are Thomas Marshall and Margaret Marshall (Nee Cummingham) of Whitburn, Lanarkshire, Scotland and the other Grandparents are John Raeside and Janet Raeside (Nee Sheppard) of Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. The following siblings in order are - Margaret Cunningham Marshall, John Marshall, Jessie Sheppard Raeside Marshall, Thomas Marshall, Alexander Raeside Marshall and William Marshall. The Marshall Family is part of the Keith Clan.
Alexander was married to Alice Gall on November 5, 1907 in Glasgow, Scotland. In 1908, together they had a son named Alexander Marshall but sadly a year later at Christmas time, the son passed away after battling with measles for 5 days.
Alexander worked as a grocer at a store in Glasgow.
Alexander first enlisted with the 7th Battalion, Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders. He did not arrive into France until after March 1st, 1917 as a replacement draft to the WW1. His 1st Service Number - R.G.T.L. No. 277888 - (Enlistment date unknown). Then Private Alexander Raeside Marshall was reassigned to the 6th Battalion Gordon Highlanders due to the fact they had suffered heavy losses during the Arras Offensive in April of 1917. His new 2nd Service Number - R.G.T.L. No. 288029.
Alexander's younger brother, William Marshall (the one and only sibling out of 6 that left Scotland in 1904 and moved to Canada and married Caroline Jane Reynolds in 1910 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) also happen to be in France working as part of the Canadian Oversea Expeditionary Forces as a Private. He was part of the 2nd Division Ammunition Park and 1st class Driver in assisting the War efforts. His serial number was 2578. It's possible that they both may have been aware about each other being in France and that William was a couple of hours away from where Alexander was killed at the time and may have known about his brother's death at the Battle of Cambrai. William never spoke about his experience in WW1 to his family.
