Confusion between the "he" used in Early Life and First World War sections
As a reader, I would appreciate clarification of some of the pronouns in the first two sections, Early Life and First World War.

If I understand them correctly, the Early Life is describing Alexander's father only when referencing as "he", etc. Regretfully, the First World War section begins with a "He...", which was a little confusing to me. It seemed as if the discussion was continuing about Alexander's father. However, after going back an forth between the two sections, I believe that there was a shift from Alexander's father to Alexander. If so, then use of the proper name, instead of the pronoun He would certainly help my understanding (and hopefully others also).

Thank you. Biscuiteater57 (talk) 16:20, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

British India
We say he "left for British India in October 1925" but he was already in British India - Lahore was a part of the Punjab in British India until Pakistan was formed post-WW2 as a consequence of the Partition of India. Thus, he may have left Lahore but he didn't leave it for another country. - Sitush (talk) 18:00, 6 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Or are we saying that he left Gladys etc in the UK on being appointed to the post in Lahore? It's a tad confusing. - Sitush (talk) 18:02, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
