I really like how you have them framed and think we will do the same.

Today is a sad day for those of our and the previous generation and I'm far from certain that many of the young ones today do not understand.

Have bookmarked it to share with father; he was born near Tain and his father (grandad MacLean) was a timber man, based near Invergordon. Every chance there will be memories triggered! I note that a lot of troops (according to that page) landed right across the water from here, at Gourock. You may want to contact the fellow at bottom of the page to have your father-in-law's name added to the 25th Co. service list. <br /><br />Even as I typed this there was a news report on the Norwegian troops which are also mentioned on that page; they were training for 'special ops' over here and were the prompt for the film "Heroes of Telemark"... <br /><br />Wonderful research Jenn!
