Kelty And Rest of Scotlands Soldiers"We Must Never Forget Them"

by John Redmond

                                       The Mist may cloud the distant hills
                                                       As the fog  engulfs a river
                                                  Our memories eye can see you still
                                                      And we will forget you, never

Memories, Nostalgia & History

History doesn't have to be in black & white

Your memory of a local character or a school photo from the last ten years can be just as interesting as wars and Victorians.
