  1. Hey - Look at my web-side: www.dalnaes.dk

    There is the history about Corporal Ewen Nicholson and his death 3. July 1916 by Ypres.

    Clic on the post: "Hebriderne Foto 3"

    My interest comes from my journey through Scotland and the Hebrides in 2002, and the visit on North Uist and my visit by the graveyard and tombstone with the Nicholson´s.

    I did the search of the person and soldier Corporal Ewen Nicholson, and his fate in WW1. He came from Canada and the Nocholson family there.

    You are welcome to contact me...I´m trying to locate the familiy.

    On my website there is also a lot about The Hebrides, fotos and my own paintings from there.

    I hope you will take a look..?

    Kind regards
