      Redleg, the Germans were trying to get the Mexicans to invade. This was based, as I presume you know, on intercepted "cablegrams" sent from the US Embassy. No solid evidence was observed. Thus, thus may well have been another put up job like the USS Maine, and the Gulf of Tokin incident. Wilson was a skunk and arrested people for criticizing his administration.

      @Fresno Pete Games That's interesting - the journal especially. I am also lucky to have such documents left over from previous
      generations. It is pretty cool to get a window into the past like that.
      Just thought you'd be interested to know a few things about Scotland and Jews etc.. I apologise if I'm simply stating things you
      already know. Scottish Jews have always been small in number and hence not usually very visible in Scotland. This perhaps accounts for us being, according to some people, the only country in Europe to never have experienced an antisemitic pogrom.
      I believe the Manchester in England has long been known for its sizeable Jewish community (sizeable for Britain). I don't know of a Manchester in Scotland. Its fame spread far and wide at one time and as a result, Lodz, In Poland, used to be known as 'Polish Manchester' due to the industry and the size of the Jewish section of the population in Lodz. This, of course, changed with the 1940s.
      Glasgow used to be known for having the largest Jewish community in Scotland. Many people moved on to America (New York especially), Manchester or Israel. This is connected with Glasgow's economic decline. I remember that when I visited Garnet Hill
      Synagogue in Glasgow about 8 years ago it was only used occasionally by a very small congregation of old women. It is still used as a sort of community centre/ museum informing the public about Judaism and also partly Scotland's Jewish community in
      general, but especially about Glasgow's in particular.
      In Edinburgh I used to walk past a building called 'the Edinburgh Hebrew Congregation' every day for around 4 years. I assume it is still in use as a synagogue, but I'm not sure. I don't have Jewish heritage (mostly Protestant Scots but a wee bit of Irish in there
      and of that a small number of them were Catholic). I did study history at Edinburgh Uni. So my taking some interest in this area
      has an excuse!
      Also, I have an uncle whose parents were non-religious Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe. He converted to Catholicism in
      adulthood, independently of a spouse or family. Later, he married my Dad's sister who is Protestant. So I suppose this story
      demonstrates part of the reason for the presently shrinking numbers of people putting Jewish on the Census here in the UK -
      conversion to other religions/ decline in religious Jews due to increase in irreligiosity.
      If you're interested in background info on Scottish Jewish experiences of life in Scotland I would recommend reading 'Two Worlds: An Edinburgh Jewish Childhood' by David Daiches. He was only born in 1912, the same year as my grandfather, so that is a bit
      later. He does describe some people from previous generations in Scotland though. Daiches made it very clear that many of the
      Jewish people who came from eastern Europe in the late 19th century and early 20th century (which is when most of them
      arrived) were very poor. Daiches also clarifies that not everyone totally climbed out of poverty. A product of the Jewish men who
      worked as pedlars in the early 20th century was a kind of mongrel tongue made from broad Scots accent and vocabulary mixed
      with Yiddish. He talks about how the relative lack of antisemitism in Scotland at that time compared to many other places,
      including England, allowed him and other Jews to feel much more comfortable as Jews and members of the nationality of their
      non-Jewish neighbours - in this case fellow Scots.
      I found that book in my parent's house many years ago. It may be a legacy of my paternal Grandfather's distant Glasgow Jewish
      relatives. No one is quite sure.
      Hope that wasn't too much random info!

    I'm English and when I see these things where Irish , Welsh ,or Scottish bands play their music (which I love ) below an American flag. It just doesn't seem quite right. No offence to anyone but if you play "The flower of Scotland" The flag should be Scottish. Also men of Harlech - Welsh for gods sake. I can't pronounce the Irish one but you get my drift? If you've moved to America but still wish to pay homage to the old country use the old countries flag, fly it alongside the star spangled banner but don't fly the US flag instead of it! No offense intended or meant.

      When I was learning to play the bagpipes, many considered it sacrilegious to play tunes like Yankee Doodle, Dixie and others. I thought it rediculous. I approached a couple of Scottish born instructors at a seminar once to see what they thought... They were mystified. It's a musical instrument, if the tune works, why not play it said they.
      This is a funeral in America, for an American citizen. Enough said.

      David MacDonald. To stand at attention, you stand up straight, feet together, DON'T lock your knees, eyes stare straight ahead.
      You make a fist, with your thumbs touching the seams of your pants (or just on the sides of your skirt), your arms straight down the sides of your body.
      You have order:--"Parade Rest" where you stand feet spread apart slightly, (ONLY the left leg moves) & you hands lock behind you, slip your thumbs together, keep standing face foreword.
      When told "Attention!" Your left foot & leg move to meet your right leg & DON'T lock your knees or in a short amount of time you can pass out. (Then stand as in paragraph 1)
      At order: "Present arms!" (If American) Your right hand snaps to your forehead, fingers together, a slight bend down at the wrist.
      At order: "Order Arms!" Your right hand snaps stately down & back to a fist with the thumbs touching the seam of your pants (or to the sides of the skirt), back stright, chest out, stomach in, face stays looking straight ahead.

      Jeremy Prosser the UK has a lot less sun. We do tend to be a bit more casual, especially outdoors. Sunglasses can cost a considerable amount. They are even considered fashionable. And most people are used to seeing uniformed individuals wearing them especially in southwestern climates. We also wear photo sensitive lenses that darken in bright light. The photo greys tend to make standing in the sun a bit more bearable. Baseball caps used to just be worn on the ball field, now they are issued by military and law enforcement as part of standard uniforms. Things tend to change here. No disrespect intended.
