He is described as follows
Height 5 ft 10¼ in
Complexion: fresh
Eyes: brown

Religion: presbyterian
As only two months elapsed between Horace signing up and passing away, he would not have seen action.
Horace appears in the 1901 census at Lochgilphead, aged 9, the son of George C (28) and Annie E (29), brother of Jessie S (7), Maud M F (3) and John A (1).
It appears likely that his brother John Alexander died as an RAF pilot during the Second World War.
