Veterans’ Day

These are all photographs of my grandfather, Robert Drummond Stephen (born My 10, 1900), who was a professional soldier in the The King’s Own Scottish Borderers. He was my dad’s father.

Unfortunately I never met him because he died in an accident on Aug 3, 1942, long before I was born.

The first two pictures were taken in Egypt in 1924 and 1925. I get the feeling that the young lady was not a strict adherent to Muslim morality.

There were many other military men in my family, but I’m hoping I’ll see plenty of other Veterans’ Days in which I can post other pictures.
