My father Ronald Nelson Long
Middle row second from right is my Dad . CPL R. N. LONG Royal Engineers. I was given by my Mum a colection of photos dad took in WW2. Many of conflict in the dessert. Some of individual photos of people I can regonise in the photos on your site.He never spoke of this part of the war. We knew he was left behind at dunkirk to blow up strategic positions and when he eventually got back to England via St Malo he volunteered for what he called a shoot to kill course before ending up at the battle of the Latani river. He was in the war for the whole conflict away from home for 6 years. On return to Britain he was given the job of repatrating german POW's back to Germany.

Hi Don was Albert Reuben Donohue. I am the granddaughter of Nancy Hyslop and have been researching the family history, and have just come across these photos of my Grandparents and Great Gran. The Hyslops property was known as 'Andreville' and consisted of two houses, a cottage and a bungalow. It's not uncommon on Arran for a family to have more than one property on their Feu as one or more would be let out to holidaymakers. The cottage is still there opposite Arran High school and has been recently modernised. The bungalow was renamed by new owners to 'Sandmoor'.

The police station is right next door to Andreville where Nancy Hyslop lived, and the soldiers stayed (there were two houses).

Taken outside my Great Gran's (Margaret Hyslop) cottage known as Andreville Cottage. The cottage is still in Lamlash and is opposite Arran High school. There was also a bungalow at Andreville which was sold by the family back in the late 1970s/early 80s, and renamed 'Sandmoor' by the new owners. The family used to stay in one house and let the other out in the summer and some of the soldiers were billeted in the cottage during the war. I myself have wonderful memories of holidaying at the cottage as a child when I was over visiting my grandparents.
