Since this is a printed Roll can anyone think of any they have seen or posted in other parts of Scotland which looks similar?
Thanks

The name at the bottom of the Killin Roll says it was printed by Gilmour & Dean Ltd Glasgow which may have been the names, not the printed frame.
It looks like they still exist (but recently taken over by an Italian company) and they mainly print whisky labels now. I wonder if they have an archive?

The 11th name - 6892? MARY FRAME - followed by a series of initials.
Why a service number? Any ideas on her unit? _________________ Ken |

Looks like G.F.S.O.F. to me. No idea what they could be though.

Just an idea, but I think that Mary Frame was a F.A.N.Y (First Aid Nursing Yeomanry....... but I've not been able to track the initials on the Scroll as yet.. _________________ Slàinte maith, h-uile latha, na chi 'snach fhaic!
