World War Two / Re: Lovat Scouts in WW2
« on: Monday 02 November 15 00:47 GMT (UK) »
My father, Jim Boswell, left his hometown of Blairgowrie & Rattray, Perthshire to take basic training at Ft. George, Inverness-shire, then mountain warfare training in Wales before shipping out with the regiment to Jasper, Canada. He fought in Italy, through Austria and was de-mobbed in Greece in 1947.
In 1961 he brought his family to Calgary, Alberta because he had loved his experience in the Rocky Mountains so much. He died in 2003 and his gravestone bears the crest and motto of the Lovat Scouts.
