SAMS BIG DAY On 26th of January I was one of the Young Arabs chosen to be Dun- dee United mascot for the home SPL game versus Ross County. My dad and brother, Liam, arrived at Tannadice early so we could meet the players and get their autographs before they went out for the warm -up. Then we got a tour of the stadium and met the Chairman Stephen Thompson in the boardroom who took time to speak to each mascot and sign our certificates. We were then taken onto the pitch and got to have a kick-about before the game started. It was time for the players to come onto the pitch and I walked out with Gary Mackay-Steven who scored United's goal in a 1-1 draw. I loved the whole experience and hope that maybe one day I'll walk out onto the pitch as a Dundee Unit- ed player.

She has done so much for the community and has helped to make our town look wonderful. Here is the letter she has sent in looking for volunteers to ensure that Alyth in Bloom continues to do such great work: Due to the sudden and very recent decline in my husband Donald’s health, I have had to make the decision that I can no longer give the time it needs to be chairperson/secretary etc. of our committee, a decision, which unfortunately, must come into effect immediately, and not one I ever looked forward to making. If anyone feels they can continue to keep the "Bloom" going, please get in touch with me as soon as possible, if not, I`m afraid "Alyth in Bloom" will cease to exist. Yours sincerely, Marguerite McKenzie, chairperson, 6 Sidlaw Cres., Alyth. © I Reid Tel., 632749 It seems that even in the middle of the worst blizzard, there was a smile!

  • Capt James Gammell 1797-1893
    Capt James Gammell 1797-1893 James Gammell was the 4th child and 2nd son of Lt. General Andrew Gammell and Martha Stageldoir, and was born on 3 January 17971. We know nothing of his early life, nor any details of his education, and the first definite information we have is that he was gazetted as an Ensign in the 59th Foot in 1813 at the age of sixteen and a half2. It is understood that this commission was presented to him by Prince Frederick, Duke of York, who, as mentioned elsewhere was a friend of his father's3. Immediately on being commissioned, James proceeded to the Peninsula War and served in the Peninsula from December 1813 to the end of the war in April 1814. He fought at the battles of Nive4 and at the siege of Bayonne and the James as a young officer sortie from Bayonne in 18145 and received the Military General Service Medal 1793-1814, with a clasp for Nive. He became a Lieutenant in 18156, saw service with the Sicilian Regiment, 61st Foot, and 64th Foot7 and spent some years of his service in the West Indies, before finally retiring from the Army with the rank of Captain in the Gordon Highlanders (92nd Foot) in September 18258. In 1816, when he was nineteen, and soon after his father's death, his grandfather, James Gammell, the Banker, purchased for him the estate of Ardiffery near Cruden Bay in North Aberdeenshire. The purchase was made jointly, 'in life rent and fee respectively', which in fact meant that the income and title were vested in James, and only reverted to his grandfather in the event of the premature death of the young James.

  • Canadian Infantry Combat Training During the Second World War
    SHARPENING THE SABRE: CANADIAN INFANTRY COMBAT TRAINING DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR By R. DANIEL PELLERIN BBA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2007 BA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2008 MA, University of Waterloo, 2009 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in History University of Ottawa Ottawa, Ontario, Canada © Raymond Daniel Ryan Pellerin, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 ii ABSTRACT “Sharpening the Sabre: Canadian Infantry Combat Training during the Second World War” Author: R. Daniel Pellerin Supervisor: Serge Marc Durflinger 2016 During the Second World War, training was the Canadian Army’s longest sustained activity. Aside from isolated engagements at Hong Kong and Dieppe, the Canadians did not fight in a protracted campaign until the invasion of Sicily in July 1943. The years that Canadian infantry units spent training in the United Kingdom were formative in the history of the Canadian Army. Despite what much of the historical literature has suggested, training succeeded in making the Canadian infantry capable of succeeding in battle against German forces. Canadian infantry training showed a definite progression towards professionalism and away from a pervasive prewar mentality that the infantry was a largely unskilled arm and that training infantrymen did not require special expertise. From 1939 to 1941, Canadian infantry training suffered from problems ranging from equipment shortages to poor senior leadership. In late 1941, the Canadians were introduced to a new method of training called “battle drill,” which broke tactical manoeuvres into simple movements, encouraged initiative among junior leaders, and greatly boosted the men’s morale.

  • Memories of William Ulla Balletta of Bedfordshire Lost Her Horse William to Acute Grass Sickness on April 30Th 2011, a Day Which Is Forever Etched on Her Mind
    EQUINE NEWS Equine Grass Sickness Fund Patron - HRH The Princess Royal Chairman – Mrs James Gammell Ambassador – Mark Johnston Spring / Summer 2012 Memories of William Ulla Balletta of Bedfordshire lost her horse William to acute grass sickness on April 30th 2011, a day which is forever etched on her mind. The shock of losing William to a disease she had never even heard of spurred Ulla to raise money, and also awareness of grass sickness, so that other owners might not feel so helpless, and know the simple steps they can take to help protect their horse. Here Ulla tells her story. I will never forget that day, it was heartbreaking. It all happened so quickly, one minute I had a happy healthy horse, 24 hours later he was gone without warning. His symptoms started on the 29th April, the day of Prince William’s wedding. When I brought him in from the paddock he was not himself, he seemed depressed and was not eating or drinking, which was not like him at all. When the vet arrived he diagnosed him with colic and said his only chance was surgery. I remember him saying how tough William was as, on the outside you could not tell by looking at him how ill he was, but his heart rate had gone up to 80 (by the time we got to hospital his heart rate was 100). When we arrived at hospital he was checked over by the vet, and that was when grass sickness was first mentioned. I was warned that William was very ill.

  • Foreword the Cateran Trail Offers a Great Wilderness Experience to Anybody Who Is Willing to Walk
    Foreword The Cateran Trail offers a great wilderness experience to anybody who is willing to walk. The Trail is under two hours from Scotland’s busy capital, but it has mountains, lochs and big skies, with three wonderful valleys to explore: Strathardle, Glen Shee and Glen Isla. It’s one of Scotland’s Great Trails, and its outstanding scenery and wildlife are made accessible by excellent waymarking. The area is blessed with historic hotels, welcoming B&Bs and fine local produce, and you are never more than seven miles from the nearest village. I grew up near Glen Shee and the mountains of Perthshire were my playground. This countryside formed me as a young explorer, and although I’ve since enjoyed adventurous travel in many continents, I always enjoy returning to Perthshire. I live very close to the Trail, and have walked it often. I completed 54 miles of the Cateran Yomp (see page 71) and in 2015 I was delighted to act as its Ambassador. More recently, my young sons have enjoyed sections of the Trail. In this edition, the publisher has given the Trail the splendid guidebook that it deserves. Mike Bell’s superb photographs let me discover afresh the scenery, moods and dramatic lighting of the Trail. The Footprint mapping is clear and convenient to use. And the text is concise and comprehensive, with lots of local detail. The Cateran Trail is waiting for you. Why not seize the moment? Polly Murray www.pollymurray.com 4 Planning to walk the Trail Spittal of Glenshee The Cateran Trail is a fully waymarked 5.9 mi walk of 64 miles (104 km) that starts 9.5 km and finishes in the Highland town 8.5 mi .

  • Local Action Plan Eastern Perthshire
    APPENDIX 1A Local Action Plan Eastern Perthshire About Eastern Perthshire Eastern Perthshire is primarily a rural area with one major town, Blairgowrie (8,954 people in 2011), and settlements such as Alyth (2,403), Coupar Angus (2,262), Invergowrie (1,793), Scone (4,886), Burrelton (671) and Errol (1,311). The locality starts in the Carse of Gowrie in the south with the A90 connecting Perth and Dundee. The locality takes in Scone, which sits on the edge of Perth City and follows the course of the River Isla, and Ericht stretching through the Glens north of Blairgowrie. Eastern Perthshire has a geographical area of approximately 468km 2 and a population of around 37,500 1. The soft fruit industry and agriculture still prosper today and account for nearly 7% of the area’s industry. The agricultural nature of Eastern Perthshire has meant that it has always had a transient population, particularly in the summer months. The locality has fewer 0-19 year olds and more people aged 65 and over compared to other localities within Perth & Kinross, which will put a greater demand on social care services in future years, and an increased demand for social groups aimed at retired people within the locality. 1 Population Mid-Year Estimates 2015 ( www.statistics.gov.scot ) About our Plan Action Partnerships Perth and Kinross has five Action Partnerships, each representing one of the area’s localities. Each Action Partnership is made up of representatives from public services, the local community, and councillors from the area. Their purpose is to tackle local inequalities by setting priorities to work for and with the community.
