Thanks Adam,
Think this is the man on WM. I did have this man, had photo of his grave stone in Closeburn Churchyard, which is CWGC one.

No further details on him.

Thanks Adam,
I did have him down as you say, but no further details know, and "spoons" was not able to help me.

An Alexander M Rogerson, age 29 died in the Lochmaben area in 1945. His DC is on the GROS site. It will confirm the cause of death.
