I remember carrying old bits of wood and bits off trees to put in the stove in the middle of the hut. I think the sergeants got a supply of coke as their hut always seemed to have smoke coming out. Were the toilets still a ruddy great pipe with holes cut in the middle with bits of wood round the holes. I think the water flowed through continuously from a burn. I was their at the end of March in 1955 or so. Snow all around.

I was at Cultybraggan with the then 205 Scottish Field Hospital (TA).
That would be around about 92/93.
My abiding memory was it was bl**dy cold all the time.

Ukrainian POW chapel's new battle

A congregation of Greek Orthodox worshippers at Hallmuir, near Lockerbie, will be celebrating Christmas on 7 January in keeping with the Gregorian calendar.
The chapel is no ordinary place of worship, having been built by Ukrainian prisoners of war who were held captive during World War Two.
Much of Scotland's Ukrainian population is descended from former soldiers who arrived as prisoners of war and made the country their home.
BBC Scotland's Willie Johnston reports on how they are fighting to keep old traditions alive.

That'll be the pre-Gregorian calendar.
