Op Banner photos - some memories for the old and bold

[Stonker]

I have been waiting for this booķ for a long time. Huw Bennett, as an affiliated scholar, has much more access than I have as an unaffiliated independent and so I am quite excited to read his book and look at the evidence. Might even encourage me to finish writing my own - it has been a slog. Thanks for the heads up.

You are (very much) more than welcome.

If it helps to get you published, I'll put it on my (notional) CV alongside A Billion Mullets

As have I, except my local library is Cambridge University Library. They hold every book that has been published.

I am truly jealous. The Joburg central library is now closed - for four years . Carry on winning ANC.

How did that Cadet sneak in?

How did that Cadet sneak in?

Thats no cadet, that's one of Glasgow's finest - bred small like terriers, and boy can they fight.

Aye. But they're supposed to fight the enemy. Not each other...

Surely that should be the RHF and not the Gordons.

You've blown the King's persec.

You've blown the King's persec.

Even allowing for the 1979 date, I'm very convinced it's another gent.

Indeed, Glasgow was and has always been an open city for Scot Div recruitment to keep other Battalions up to strength.

Please tell me it was the wee lad.
