sinking of SS Orsa and loss of Glasgow crew

Sorry, I posted the above before seeing the other two responses! Thanks for the welcome Fossil, and Dr_ Lightning (?), I wouldn't mind at all if you had a look at the military pictures--I can't make heads or tails of them. Thanks

I'd say 70% of my Scottish photos were portraits done in Edinburgh, and the rest in Glagow. From the Edinbu...
