Dr. Alexander James Thompson Swann, M.B., Ch.M., D.P.H.
(1873-1917)

The passage on the photo above was found on a grave at Cathcart Cemetery, Brenfield Road, Glasgow, Scotland. The body of Dr. Swann (late of SS Apapa) was not recovered to my knowledge and the inscription appears to be only in his memory. The grave appears to be that of his wife. The only thing I was able to learn was that Dr. Swann was a graduate of the University of Glasgow receiving his MB in 1898. He was a medical officer in the West African Medical Staff. If you have any other information or a photograph of Dr. Swann, please contact me.
