An interesting and unusually well-travelled 78 survived life in among a "family of seven in a single room and kitchen in a small town in the West Of Scotland" in the 1920's and 30's. It then left my father's hands and travelled with my Uncle Jimmy to Italy towards the end of WWII. It survived a landing in Southern Italy and a very rough military campaign. Uncle Jimmy was then usefully employed patrolling the canals of Venice in a wee boat with a portable gramophone for the rest of WWII. It was the only record to return.



I still have it.
