Iris Barclay of Kinlochleven
recalls the shock of seeing her father in uniform for
the first time
I
remember opening the door and this soldier in a khaki
uniform and boots and everything coming up the stair of
our house and I thought, 'That's my daddy!' [Laughter]
And Daddy was all done up in khaki with a haversack and
a gas mask and everything. It was really funny. He didn't
actually have to go away and do anything but there were
voluntary services and other things to take care of the
people at home. But it was such a laugh seeing him in
this uniform.
