🛡️ One mention of Brodick or the Isle of Arran is all it takes for Him, one hint of a Militärgeographische Arbeiten for Her. 🙄

🛡️YES, JEEVES. Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, KBE was an English writer, but would have been known to the Jocks already as an author and humorist. But was he a Nazi sympathiser? probably not. Still, he gets a mention in The Lowlander...

🛡️Meet Councillor James Dewar.
Now, this is the kind of story you cannot invent, but you can send out to keep the men of the 52nd Lowland Division updated with what's happening in their home towns (in this case, Aberdeen).

🛡️ The first mention of a VC in The Lowlander is not for a Jock, it's for Lance Sergeant John Daniel Baskeyfield - Gun Commander of 2 Anti-Tank Platoon, Support Company, 2nd (Airborne) Battalion, South Staffordshire Regiment - who was at Arnhem. 🕊️

🛡️ We've picked quite a mix of stories this week, but every episode starts with an update on where the 52nd Lowland Division is and what they've been doing. Spoiler: they're still on Walcheren.
