B D McPherson coming to after the Battle of The Ia Drang Valley. Print

I am originally British, born in Stornoway Isle of Lewis. Historically I have travelled the world, on one occasion overseas for twelve years non stop. My Mothers side of our family were Scottish, my Father was born in what used to be British North Borneo, now the state of Sabah Malaysia. Dad had served on aircraft carriers as a Fleet Air Arm pilot having signed on in Singapore just before the Japanese invasion. Our great uncle, Hector McNicol founded what became the McNicol School in Kilmarnock which focused on Scottish Landscapes. All of us siblings seem to have inherited artistic abilities of one kind or another.
