I was privileged to be at the Fair Isle Hall to witness a presentation of the finished project and was not surprised that our School has got to within the last four and I wish them every success in the final selection. I am currently researching my own families involvement in WW1. So my feelings around the schools production are raw. My paternal Grandfather Pte Wm Murdoch served with the Highland Light Infantry at Gallipoli and the Dardanelles. We could say that he was lucky to return alive but I would only know him as I saw him continually gazing into the fire in constant misery for himself and all his family and with the word Dardenelles often on his lips. My Maternal Grandfather Pte Thomas Connon served with the Gordon Highlanders, we haven't yet found the details of where he was active but we do know that was a POW in Gernany before his discharge. We have a photograph of him in black wearing what we take to be a POW armband. Grandfather Thomas was spared to return home to his family at the end of the war but died at 39years of his wounds within a year. My mother was only 9 yet old enough to realise the love she had lost on his death. It was with her all the days of her life. It distresses me more that her two brothers, my Uncles Tom and Bil were to follow their father into the World War II, with dire consequences.
