James Pearson, mentioned at the beginning of the newsletter, is a great friend for answering naive questions and keeping me abreast of what's happening in the UK, including the sad news of Lady Colquhoun's passing. It may have been quite awhile before I and most American members of the Clan would have known of her death if James hadn't notified us. It occurred to me that many of you may not have actually seen a copy of James' periodical. Here's what the front cover of the current issue looks like:
On the front is a picture of Justine Kennedy (1857-1905) wife of Col. Alan John Colquhoun and mother of Sir Iain.
Notice also in this issue there is an article about the Christmas Truce of 1915 in which Sir Iain was involved. Sharon & I hope to go to the UK within the next two years. I've already contacted the Imperial War Museum in London about seeing Sir Iain's war diary.
