7th Cameronians, HQ Company, Comrie 1944

In this HQ Company photo, L/Cpl, James Jordan is in the 2nd row from the rear, 5th person from the right.  L/Cpl Jordan was in the Signals Platoon. Pete Jordan, his son, supplied the photograph. A kindred spirit, Pete, has been researching the 7th Cameronians history and sharing his results with others also seeking to learn more about the wartime experiences of their father/grandfather/uncle.

In my own case, both from the Regimental War Diaries within which my father, CSM Douglas H McCreath’s commission to Second Lieutenant is recorded, and the Cameronian Regimental Magazine ‘The Covenanter’ Pete has provided a number of enlightening references.
