if he did not survive the war and his record survived (i.e. not under the burnt records issue) then CWGC website may give you information on his family. Tony

http://www.fdca.org.uk/pdf%20files/1919%20AbsVoters%20B.pdf

has him listed at 37 Baxter Street which is just off City Road

You could try Valuation at Scotlands People which list a Alexander Berry at 37 Baxter Street in 1915, brother maybe.. or Census 1901, 1911... which would give you siblings...

Hope these are of use and interest,

With the mention of 37 Baxter Street for George Berry above, there is an entry in the 1915 Valuation Rolls in Dundee on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for an Alexander Berry at that address. At least 2 other households at that address. Alexander Berry does not show there by 1920.
