Mennock war memorial. Mennock, Dumfries and Galloway. In recognition of Mennock being awarded second place in the Weekly Dispatch bravest village competition. A plaque also commemorates the pupils of Mennock School who fell in the Great War. #LestWeForget

Have you read Ken Bogle's book on Eric Liddell @derekdouglas.bsky.social ? To be honest, until today, I didn't know that it existed. 😳

On 21st February 1945 Eric Liddell (Chariots of Fire) died in a Japanese internment camp in China.
