Thanks helachau,

I found the death notice of Marion in Sunshine Advocate 1926 (She died from pneumonia!) age 32, & an obituary in same paper of 1940 re Alexander Rankin. He was 46.

I appreciate your help. It seems also that after discharge from the Cameron Highlanders, he joined the Highland Light Infantry 7th Battalion "Blythswood" & may have served in Gallipoli & around Palestine, Gaza & Suez . Then in 1918 went to Marseille for the Western Front.
