My Dad
The man second from the right is my father, Arthur Holme.
I didn't know that his nickname in the Army was "The Bull" until the day of his funeral when I was told by Jack Strain who came to the wedding and I assume is the poster, Daniel's, grandfather.
If Daniel reads this then you can contact me on [email protected], but thanks for posting this it has made my day finding it.

Alastair Cameron
My Grandfather Alastair Cameron is back row centre, brown jacket and not looking at the camera! He always wore the kilt to reunions and I believe was well known in Spean Bridge as he lived locally until his death.
