ALEXANDER (second of the name) was born at Kirkwall on 5th July, 1789. He enlisted as an Ensign in the Royal York Rangers (later absorbed into the African Corps) on 4 May 1809 and served in Goree and Guernsey. When Goree was ceded back to france in 1817 some of the Royal African Corps were transferred to Cape Town and Alexander, a Lieutenant since 1813, went to Grahamstown, on of the military stations near the cape.
