Wick Voices – When War Came

Wick Voices – When War Came

To coincide with the launch of the Caithness At War trail on Saturday 20th April 2024, Wick Voices produced a compilation of audio clips from the Wick Voices oral history archive.

On the day, Lord Thurso, Lord-Lieutenant of Caithness, cut the ribbon and he laid a poppy wreath, as did representatives of the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy. Pupils from the three primary schools covering the Sinclair’s Bay and Wick areas were also involved as were representatives of the local Legion Scotland branch and members of Wick RBLS Pipe Band.

Voices are featured in the following order: Alistair Jack; Mary Manson; George Cameron; Kathlyn Harper; Harry Gray; Ian Swanson; Mary Manson (2); George Cameron (2); Jimmy Clark; David Dunnett; John Mackenzie; David Bruce; Nan Bethune; Willie Davidson; John Mackenzie (2); Willie Davidson (2); George Cameron (3); Eric Farquhar; Don Mason; Alistair Jack (2); Alice Calder; Donald Harper; Don Mason (2); Eric Farquhar (2); George Cameron (4); Betty Swanson; Kathlyn Harper (2); Harry Gray (2); Ian Swanson (2); Nan Fraser; Ian Swanson (3); Jackie Strachan; George Cameron (5); John Macrae; George Bethune; Robbie Larnach; Sandy Munro; Sheila Anderson (speaking with daughter Pat Ramsay); Ian Swanson (4); Willie Davidson (3); John Macrae (2); Alistair Jack (3); Mary Manson (3).
