The Service Return says Alexr. Kinkade, aged 29, died 02-05-1915 or since, death presumed. There is a corresponding birth in Motherwell (Dalziel Parish) on 17-May-1885.

The MIC shows Kinkade.
Am looking into this. It is not a scanning error but might be an original typo. I await Derek sending me the Service Return to check further. _________________ Jim

Thanks Derek.
This will go to CWGC for correction of the orginal record to KINKADE. _________________ Jim
