I’m not sure who this is but he’s in several photos. Do we know the history of the hat style? Is that the Lion?

  1. We would like to publish at least some of this diary on the Scotland’s War website (www.scotlandswar.ed.ac.uk) particularly as Lion spent time at Rosyth on the Forth. Pleaswe let us know what you think.

    • Hi Alistair, I apologize for not answering this immediately. For some reason, I never got a notification of your comment. You can link to this site and use portions of the diary, no problem. Let me know when you’ve set it up and I’ll take a look then post a link from here to your site. Thanks for commenting.
