Quite a few ex-Highland Division men came back to Bedford in the inter-war years. Most probably this was to do with coming south to find work during the time of economic depression and, already knowing Bedford headed this way where a warm welcome was assured. I don't know of any specific link between the A&SH and Cardington. I know that elements of the Scottish Horse (Territorial cavalry) were billeted in the village at the time the Highland Divison was also in the locality,<br />Best regards<br />RichardAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13384540286359664758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858402673926858955.post-15330232428754671482016-08-29T10:51:55.648-07:002016-08-29T10:51:55.648-07:00The album has never been seen before best wishes s...The album has never been seen before best wishes steve mAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548845399347956779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858402673926858955.post-9223491388337438722016-08-29T10:50:40.063-07:002016-08-29T10:50:40.063-07:00Hi Richard, hope you receive this.

For many years my family have wondered why my widowed grandfather left Alva in Scotland and moved to Bedford!<br />He was in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, so he must have had friends in Bedford from the war when he moved down in 1922.<br />He married my grandmother who was from Cardington. Do you by any chance have any information regarding a Cardington link to his regiment?<br />Thank you<br /><br />Su LangstaffAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09255409937775461327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858402673926858955.post-42187140379261716872015-04-27T22:47:43.900-07:002015-04-27T22:47:43.900-07:00Thanks for putting it together.

As a resident of Bedford with West Coast ancestry, I've been interested in the Highlanders' brief stay in Bedford ever since I first heard about it a few years ago. <br /><br />So it feels a bit churlish to question which end of Dudley Street a photo was taken. I've checked Google Maps Streetview and the Dudley Street junction with Castle Road looks a closer match than the attributed junction with Russell Avenue. What do you think? <br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />DuncanPaddleSlapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12392842623854299372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858402673926858955.post-21713870682338686492010-07-03T06:43:48.671-07:002010-07-03T06:43:48.671-07:00Dear George

Donald Manson was a Captain, later Major, commanding "D" (Dunnet) Company of the 5th (Caithness and Sutherland Battalion) Seaforth Highlanders and my other grandfather, Private George Grant, was in the 6th (Morayshire) Battalion. Donald Manson returned to Bedford as Adjutant of the Reserve Battalion at Bedford after being wounded at Festubert soon after his arrival in France. I have several photographs of the 5th Seaforths in Bedford which are not in your collection and I would be happy to send you copies if you are interested. <br /><br /><br />Thanks a gain for an excellent site.<br /><br />George MansonUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01163089237985262696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858402673926858955.post-79844351821240706802010-01-27T01:54:11.545-08:002010-01-27T01:54:11.545-08:00What a fascinating account!

I am pretty sure he was a Seaforth Highlander. He is the one in the middle of the photo (the one with the family ears!!!). Unfortunately I don't know if he is still alive as my father has been dead a good twenty years and all information died with him. They were a family that went their different ways!<br /><br />Your blog was so informative, I hadn't a clue about the sheer scale of movement of these men, and having attended several Highland Games at Braemar as a child, it was fascinating to see that they held one in Bedford!!!menopausalmusinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255069917743230560noreply@blogger.com
