General Montgomery at the Station (in colour on 13th May 1944). His D-Day plans - finalised at Dalwhinnie, were presented to HM King George VIth and General Eisenhower at St Paul's School, Hammersmith, London on the Monday. The special train named "Rapier" was based at "Addison Road Station" not far away. Mary McLagan is just to Monty's right. Mr"Pop" Poe is behind Monty's right shoulder.

I think the one on the left is Hazel McPhail and the one on the right may be Margaret Shand.

My brother Jim lives in Dundee - a very hale and hearty 72 years of age. I saw Margaret and Hazel at the reunion in 2004, and Margaret's brother Billy was at the recent reunion. He said Margaret was fine and living in Inverness.
