    • In the 8th Army in the Middle East fighting Rommel. Met his brother Jock who was posted in the Air Force walking down a street in Cairo.

      (Research):Speaking to Ronnie Forbes who runs the Flaming Cross takeaway shop across the road from the Waverley Hotel about the Hotel setup when it was still individual housing. The proprietor of the Waverley suggested I talk to him as he was born in the hotel when it was still housing. He said he knew of a couple of Macfarlanes one of whom was son of a Jolly Macfarlane.
