The troops were Lovat Scouts en route for the Home Counties. By the way, there is a village in Ross-shire called Moscow, and there are some farmsteads called Rushaw.
To add to the Muscovite associa- tions (und confusions), a stream which passes by these farmhouses has been christened "Volga." It only needs the blacksmith to be called Stalin und the analogy would be still more incredibly true.

RICHARD DIX IN
MET DEATH THE MARINES
Miss Pauline Gower, command-
ing officer of the women's section. of the Air Transport Auxiliary. told a literary. luncheon how Amy Johnson met her death,
"It fell to my lot to check up on her flight," said Miss Gower. "We have absolutely no doubt how she died,
"She was flying in icy conditions above clouds so heavy that she could not find a break to enable her to come down. She was run- ning out of petrol, and must have decided to come down through the clouds. It was just bad luck that she happened to be over the water. She baled out, and had she been above land, would have been here to-day
"In baling out of the type of aircraft she was flying it was often necessary to Jettison the bacco (var.)door, which, as it came down, might have caused the rumour in the that there was a passenger in aircraft."
