They may well have known each other.
They were so young – and so are almost all of those killed these days in Afghanistan – painfully young.
What happened to your father after he was captured, John?
And if you do go over sometime, please email us (lm.henderson@powdermills.com) a photograph and a note on your experience.

- Peace Pilgrimage going through Crinan Canal now, en route for Faslane
Done. Thank you for the prompt. - New SNP group leader unable to keep the sheep in the pen
‘Minding mice at a crossroads’ is a new one to me. Catches the imagination. Thanks. Lynda - Minutes of today’s meeting of ‘Concerned Councillors’ Group
We have heard from two highly credible sources this morning that Councillors Gordon Blair and Robert E MacIntyre [Bute] have now resigned from the SNP – but we cannot ourselves understand quite why these two councillors would have done so.
Both are in the ‘Russell camp’.
It is inconceivable that they would have fallen out with their principal.
So, if this information is correct, what’s the move about – because it will be one? - Minutes of today’s meeting of ‘Concerned Councillors’ Group
The information is not unconfirmed. It is utterly authentic.
The venue was in Lochgilphead and yes, we admit to being more concerned with the content that the venue.
This does not mean that you are wrong – and there is indeed an additional interest in the session being held outside Kilmory. - Minutes of today’s meeting of ‘Concerned Councillors’ Group
Duplicate salaries would not be possible within the rules.
This would be a matter of sharing the leader’s salary three ways for the duration of the triumvirate.

my dad was captured at st valerie un somme on the 8thjune 1940 he was a corporal in the 8th bat argyll and sutherland highlanders, maybe they knew each other. there is a small cemetery in st valerie un somme where some members of the 8th battelion who were killed in early june are buried. i hope to visit again someday to pay my respects they are worthy of rememberence, i am always deeply moved when i stand in amongst them they were so young, scotlands bravest. it was nice to read the story
