Excellent reference on rare locomotives.
Very informative with an excellent collection of rare photographs. Very useful reference work for a bygone era with few locomotives surviving into preservation.

A young Highlander' experience of war.
A sad and moving account of Angus Mackay's experiences in World War One. Angus originally from a small highland crofting village on the North Coast of Scotland, survives the living hell of Gallipoli, the Western Front, Ypres and The Somme campaigns before being seriously wounded at the Battle Of Arras. He is then captured by the Germans and moved from a German field hospital to their Military Hospital in Darmstadt in Germany where he dies from his wounds. He was only 21 years old. Author/editor Alasdair Sutherland had done a marvellous job of adding background detail and historical fact. Angus's diary entries are brief and to the point,. It was against regulations to keep diaries in case they fell into enemy hands.
After the war Angus Mackay's mortal remains were reinterred in the British and Commonwealth cemetery at Niederzwehren, near the city of Kassel. 104 years on and he is still behind former enemy lines. If the British Government would get off its high horse then it would be possible for some families in this country to repatriate and bring home their war dead. As Angus writes in his own words, " ...in all my wanderings I have not seen a spot yet I would exchange the Rean for. The old home is ever in a Highland man's mind."
