Robert Forrest, when he was only 19

Hi Bill, I am still recovering from learning just how small the world is. From the age of approx 10 to 17 Mum and Dad took me, Robert, and Shirley to Blantyre to stay for The Arbroath Summer fair at 121 Fernslea Ave. with our Uncle Chic, Aunt Lily, and cousins John and Lillian. Prior to that we visited my Gran and Grandad at Park Crescent. The photograph attached shows my Grandad, Robert Forrest, when he was only 19, working a horse at Craigend Pit, off the Whisleberry Road, in 1920.
