I like the names for the different courses! Could it be a suggestion to call the different courses on the menu for the diner in November this year in the Alexandra Hotel likewise? If so, I am already looking forward to the Achnacarry Coffee as it must have a wee drop of whisky in it I suppose!

Whilst being no expert on signatures, the signature may be that of Derek Mills-Roberts. Peter Young and Derek Mills-Roberts were OC's of No. 3 and No.6 Commando respectively, and were grouped together as part of the 1st Special Service Bde. for D Day. As to the authenticity of the signatures I cannot comment.

Regards

Pete

Ps. Signatures I am sure could vary depending on the amount of Achnacarry coffee imbibed !

Pete Rogers, son of LSgt Joe Rogers MM & nephew of TSM Ken McAllister. Both No2 Commando.

Sorry I outbid you!

The seller had about 5 different docs for sale, I must admit I was amazed how little they went for. I should point out it has holes punched in it but I photoshopped them out for distribution!

Moderators please feel free to add to the gallery

Cheers
