Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

As we prepare to say farewell to 2016, we would like to take this opportunity to wish all our visitors a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We would like to also say thank you for visiting Low Parks Museum, our website, and reading our blog posts on The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) museum collection.

We will leave you with this Christmas card from The Cameronians museum collection. It was sent from Pat to his ‘chum, Len’, most likely for Christmas 1927.

Unfortunately we don’t know anything about Pat or Len, but hope the caricatures contained in the card will be of some interest. They were sketched by J. E. B. Whitehead, an officer of The Cameronians who went on to have close involvement in the running of the Regimental museum.

The sketches show a selection of ‘characters’ from the 2nd Battalion serving at that time (1927), including some of the Warrant Officers and Senior Non Commissioned Officers. Perhaps someone out there might recognise a relative!

We’ll see you all in 2017!
