Hello Jelena,

From The Times 27 June 1986: 'Major H. A. Baillie and Miss S. F. Willway- the marriage took place in the Guards Chapel, Wellington Barracks, on June 25, between Major Hubert Baillie, Grenadier Guards, younger son of the late Captain A. M. Gucewicz-Baillie and Mrs A. G. Gucewicz-Baillie, and Miss Sarah Willway, elder daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel and Mrs M. L. Willway.'

Given the specificity of the name and the reason for the name 'Gucewicz-Baillie', this can only refer to the Capt. Alexander Matthew G-B in my post of 11th April above; given his wife was named Frederica Frances Eva, however, I can't explain the 'Mrs A. G. Gucewicz-Baillie' except to assume that he married again. Frederica, born 1906, died in 1993, according to online sources (including Billion Graves, which includes a photograph of the headstone), so possibly they divorced? Her stone does, however, list her surname as 'Gucewicz Baillie'. Perhaps the Times misprinted, and it ought to have said 'Mrs A. M. Gucewicz-Baillie' (as in, 'Captain and Mrs A. M. Gucewicz-Baillie', this not being printed as such given he'd died by then); that would make the most sense.

 References to Richard Simon G-B state 'elder son' (implying one younger), and the Times referred to H. A. Baillie as 'younger son' (implying one elder), which fits. I'd therefore agree with you, Jelena, that they're brothers (aside from the aforementioned 'Mrs A. G. G-B' factor).

Hubert Albert Gucewicz-Baillie was born on 18th August 1945. His father, Alexander Gucewicz was a Polish Cavalry officer and his mother something of an heiress from the Borders. He was commissioned into the Grenadiers on account of his uncle, Colonel Simon Baillie who was a Grenadier captured whilst serving in the SAS in 1944.  As Second Lieutenant Gucewicz-Baillie he reported to the Adjutant of the 2nd Battalion who promptly informed him that his name was now Baillie and thus it remained. 

[...]  It was also a considerable blow to Hubert that his elder brother, Richard, a Life Guard in the 60s, died earlier in the year.

Our sympathy and love go to Sarah his loving widow and James his son, a keen hunting man and daughter Charlotte, whose own child, Archie, arrived in January and gave great pleasure to Hubert, a proud grandfather.
