Monochrome photograph of the late L.Cpl Donald Swanson from Embo Farm via Facebook.
The message from his great nephew reads:
"Hi, I thought you might be interested in a picture I have of my late Great Uncle Lcpl Donald Swanson from Embo Farm. He's the Uncle of Billy Swanson who lives on Bishopfield Road and who is my father.

Donald fell on the 2nd of November 1942 at the battle of El Alamein while serving with the 5th Seaforths and was 27 years old. His name is on the memorial in Dornoch and I'm led to believe on a wall plaque in the new Embo social hub.
Regards, Calum Swanson"
