He then attended Sandhurst where he passed out first and was awarded the Sword of Honour as best overall Cadet. Robb was commissioned into the Durham Light Infantry on 20th May 1893 as a Second Lieutenant. In 1897 he was attached to the Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry and saw service on the Northwest Frontier, where he was recommended for the Distinguished Service Order. Armed with only a revolver along with two soldiers, he had prevented the enemy flanking; however, the award was not approved. Robb was Mentioned in Despatches twice during the campaign. The Honourable W.L. Vane in 'The Durham Light Infantry' wrote: 'Lieutenant Robb and Second Lieutenant Gibson were attached to the 2nd Battalion, Yorkshire Light Infantry; this battalion formed part of the reserve brigade at Rawal Pindi, but later was moved to Mamanai in the Bara Valley; on the 29th January 1898 it formed part of a column under Colonel Sepping, which when operating with other columns from Jamrud and Ali Musjid, was heavily engaged and suffered serious loss. Lieutenant Robb behaved with great gallantry in this action and was recommended for the D.S.O.; the recommendation was, however, not entertained. A skilled sketcher and draughtsman, service in Burma followed with Robb being attached to The Burma Boundary Commission. He then served as Adjutant of the Burma Volunteers in Rangoon from 1902 to 1907. In 1907 he re-joined the DLI in Dublin and served in the Regimental Depot from 1910 to 1912. In September 1912 he was made Adjutant of the OTC at Durham University, where he was employed as a lecturer in Military History. For his service in both roles, Robb was awarded an honorary MA.

He was carried in by Pte J Warwick, who was recommended for the Victoria Cross for his actions on that day, the award was downgraded to the DCM. Alexander was laid to rest in Vendresse British Cemetery.

GIBSON GUY: (1918-1944) British Airman of World War II, Wing Commander of 617 Squadron. Victoria Cross winner for his actions during Operation Chastise (The Dambusters Raid) on the Mohne and Eder Dams in Germany, 16th May 1943. A rare, bold pencil signature ('Guy P Gibson V.C.') to the verso of half of a postcard, the recto bearing the typed name of Mr. A. R. Knowles and two rubber stamped 3 numerals. Slightly irregularly trimmed to one edge and with some light creasing and age wear. Together with an 8vo sheet of plain notepaper featuring four original pencil drawings of aircraft in flight, unsigned and executed in an unidentified hand (although certainly not by Gibson). Some creasing to the edges, G, 2 Provenance: According to information supplied by the vendor the present signature was obtained in person on 22nd June 1943 at Buckingham Palace by Arthur Knowles, a relative of the vendor, when both he and Gibson were in attendance at the investiture which saw the pilot presented with the VC and Bar to his DSO by the future Queen Elizabeth II, thereby making him the most highly decorated serviceman in the country. This would therefore make the present signature one of (if not, the) the earliest examples with a Victoria Cross suffix. Arthur Knowles OBE CBE served as Secretary General of the Association of British Chambers of Commerce from 1945-46.
