Missed this when you first posted it. What a terrific initiative e-Sgoil is! I saw something of it at first hand when working with CnES to develop a school maritime qualification. A simple idea, so well-executed.

I'm delighted that the Fife FHS [not on here] has published my article on my Great Grandfather, Robert Campbell, 1822-88, some time Elder of the United Presbyterian Church in Durie St, Leven, Fife - pictured here once the Roman Catholics had taken it over. (I doubt if he would have liked that!)

I have another photo of Dad in the Army, clearly from his time in Burma, but with no other clues at all. But I enquired of The Wardrobe, the web home of the Rifles, who now incorporate the Royal Berkshire Regiment with whom my father served. And they have that photo!

I have been pulling together what I know about my father as neither of my children knew him, nor obviously their children, and filling in gaps where I can. I have a photo of him in Army uniform which I’ve never researched – and now know exactly when and where it was taken: Bodmin, 1945.
