Hi, my name is Keidra Morrison and I am the daughter of James Morrison, who died in February 2003. My father was in the 1st battalion of the Gordon Highlanders from 1967-1979. He was born in Dundee but moved to Strichen, Aberdeenshire, when he married my mother, Cathleen Pirie, in 1967. My dad was so proud to be a Gordon Highlander and we were brought up with his love for that. It would have been his wedding anniversary this week, on 3rd June and I thought I would make an attempt on here to see if anyone knew my dad as it would cheer my mother up so much if someone contacted me to tell me that they knew my dad. I would love if anyone had any photos of my dad at any time while he served as a Highlander. He was so proud that we had the Bydand printed on his funeral of service and also he has the Bydand on his gravestone and I also, as a Solicitor and Notary Public have Bydand as my motto. If anyone knew my dad I would love to hear from you - u76km@o2.co.uk. Thanks Keidra Morrison

Once again the "Annual Waterloo Lunch" is looming. This year it will take place on Saturday 20th June at The London Scottish HQ, Westminster (so not clashing with G In The Park this year). Over the past couple of years, we have seated around 100 members and guests. We are expecting a few more this year, as The Waterloo Lunch is becoming a "Must do" for Gordon Highlanders in the London Area and beyond! We are always delighted to welcome our ladies and this year we welcome several members and guests who will be travelling South from Aberdeen and Inverness for the lunch. Anyone wanting more information, can contact me in the first instance and I will then direct them to the Luncheon Secretary. Regimental Regards to all, John Spoore, Hon. Secretary. jspoorewigmore @ tinyonline.co.uk

I would also like to get intouch with an old friend of mine, Joe Loffelman My Brothers & Sister would also like to pass on our heartfelt thanks to Piper Ken Pickles, a true gentleman & very proud Gordon who served with our father in the 1st Battalion in the Pipes & Drums & who kindly played the pipe's at our mother's funeral & wrote a piece of music for our father who was also a very proud Gordon Highlander "Thank You" Bydand

Vic's last visit was at the Edinburgh Branch AGM in early March where his sharp wit was ever present. He is survived by his wife Jean and son Ian. We await details of the funeral. Mike (Pug) Gerrie.

I still think often of the comrades and the good old times I had with the Gordons and am still a Gordon at heart. I am now serving with the children of these old comrades and although times have changed I still see them as part of my extended family.I have heard from some of the old crew but no doubt will hear from more now that long last I have signed into this web site.

Hi Danny, you refer to how time has flown. Well one would confer this however "time" is a difficult conception to grapple with, especially if you consider time and space. When did they come into existence? Time can be seen from a number of prespectives, a Philosophical one and an Psychological one and "Actual" man-made one. Must admit all aspects of time are very intresting. Are you not glad to be out of the Army? I thought there was a lot of time-wasting going on there. Heh Heh
