  • Group Photo– My uncle Jack is seen here posing with his Dad, Jack Scott, in North Battleford, Saskatchewan. The photo was probably taken around 1940. I never met him(born in '47)but I will be visiting his grave in Kiel in October 2015 to say hello and pay my respects. Jack Sr.was a veteran of the Boer War.
