Thread: Albert Peter Maclean / Mclean

With such limited information I'm wondering if there's any chance of finding anything.



Albert Peter Maclean ran away from home at the age of 16 to fight in WW1. He served in both wars. At some point he married Emma ? and left Scotland to live in South Africa. At a rough estimate he was born between 1899 to 1903. Not even sure if this info is accurate. Where Do I begin? Any help will be welcomed.

Any idea what regiment he was in ?

No, sorry I don't know. Thats why I'm thinking its an almost impossible mission!!

I think there is probably something wrong with the information you have - I can't find a birth, marriage or 1901 census entry for an Albert Peter M(a)clean. Are you sure of the Peter?

I have managed to find a bit more information.



Albert Peter Mclean

DOB 5th May 1899

WW1 6th Dec 1915 - 18th Dec 1916 SA Tank Corps ref 4734 PTE

WW2 1939 - 1945 REF 12540 Sergeant





Apparently there were a few siblings, some of which were born in the UK and some in Zambia. Unfortunately no names of siblings.



Thanks to anyone who could help
