THE PENSIVE look in the eyes of a newly-married Southend soldier perhaps tells of his apprehension about his impending deployment to Passchendaele.
The Courier reported 100 years ago on the marriage of Kintyre couple Second Lieutenant John Galbraith, of Polliwilline, and Margaret Hardie, from South end, during the First World War.
The report was included in the Courier’s ‘From our files’ page last month and sparked a conversation among the couple’s descendants about their special day.
