Comments

Born 20 February 1912  Occupation police officer (from ship 's passenger list)

Burial Macquarie Park Cemetery, Ryde City New South Wales Australia Death 10 November 1972

His wife Ena and son Alexander buried in the same cemetery

Alexander (Sandy) Cochrane was Lance-Sergeant 138 in the HKP and at the time of the Japanese invasion was attached to CID Central.

He retired to Orange, NSW Australia in the mid-1960s, with wife Ena and family Graham and Fearn.

He was a very competent bagpiper. I remember him marching through the gum forest near West Head, in Kuringgai Chase National  Park on a family reunion picnic, skirling his bagpipes magnificently in a perfect setting.  One of my especially memorable experiences.
