Wishing all our members, friends, their families and loved ones all the very best for a happy and healthy 2024!
Of course, for our Scottish members and friends, this is an extra special time of year. And thoughts of Scotland reminded me that in November (last year!) The Scotsman published an article Remembrance: The Scots-style memorial on a Greek hillside in which the author during a visit to the memorial at Doiran considers that, “If there was an intense feeling of Scotland on this walled-off Greek hill as we pushed open a wrought iron gate, it was because the site was designed by Sir Robert Lorimer (1864-1929). Lorimer had also designed the Scottish National War Memorial at Edinburgh Castle (commissioned in 1919 and opened in 1927) and many more worldwide.”
It’s a well-written article that goes on to explain much of the background to the campaign – you can read it here.
Happy New Year!

A wonderful article giving us, who know nothing at all, an insight into the particular hardship faced by so many brave and unselfish men and women so long ago. THANKYOU for sharing.
