A little piece of family history

My dad recently handed me over some very old family photographs, and in the very old leather wallet they were in was my grandfather’s pass for the Saint Andrew’s Ambulance Corps, Kirkintilloch branch (he was a very fine first aider, also looked after the fitness of the local football team and worked the ambulances during the second world war):

When you look at the interior you can see that he signed it on the 8th of April 1933:

And here he is even earlier than that date, he’s the one standing here, with waistcoat and pocket watch on a chain, both things I am rather fond of myself; I’d like to think it got that from him:

One thought on “A little piece of family history

  1. He looks dapper and the pocket watch sets it off nicely. I would wear one myself but it dont go with my string vest and braces.
