Scotland v. England Christmas 1945

We had a great day! The Officers had the privilege of serving Christmas Lunch provoking the usual lively joyous banter, and then we celebrated 'The Battalion's spirit' and our comradeship with the skirl of the Pipes, and a 'no-holds barred' game of fitba! What else could you want ? . . . .of course, our demob and return to being civilians! For me, that took another year . . . and then the joy of celebrating the end of 1946 and the start of 1947 as five Brothers came together for the first time since 1939 gathering round our Father and Mother and lovingly embraced them and each other! Now I am the last of that special gathering, keeping alive the memory of that wonderful moment. Joe Brown.
