Notes by Clark Christie: Inside the "Ally-Bam". Thomas Christie is nearest the camera, and worked there from leaving the Black Watch at the end of WW1 until his retirement. He worked alongside my Grandpa, who served 39 years at the plant. Interestingly, Thomas was severely injured in the left hand on the same day of the Great War that his brother, my Gt-Grandpa, was killed - 31st July 1917 - and the FFP reported that in detail at the time.
