Great. It was with a lump in my throat when I saw my Grandpa and Gran , Richard and Marion Clifford, in this film. Marion was a native Gaelic speaker from a croft at the village of Edenbain in Skye and Richard was originally from Gravesend in Kent. They lived in Shore St and then in Collingwood Terrace at Nelson Rd path. They had children Richard, Marion, Mary, Doris, Edward, Ferguson, and also Annie who died as an infant. They attended Gourock High School and also St Bartholomews Church in Barrhill Road. Son Richard was a Captain in the Scientific Core based in Wiltshire and my Dad, Edward joined it also at the start of WWII. It was Britains answer to Chemical Warefare. Many cousins now live in Inverclyde and surrounding districts. Thanks for the memory, Best Regards // Eric Clifford
