Alexanmu (talk) 13:51, 12 October 2021 (UTC)Question on source for correction

[edit]

Proud to say Lydia (Leila) Henry was my grandmother. Just curious about the statement regarding return to Scotland during WWII, I have discussed this with my mother (her daughter) and this isn't correct, she did work to support the war effort, but this was done from her home in Montreal. "During World War II, she returned to Scotland, providing assistance onshore for the submarine crews operating out of north-east Scotland." Would love the opportunity to discuss this wonderful woman more.

@Alexanmu: The source for 'return to Scotland' was Eileen Crofton. In the 2013 edition of Angels of Mercy p262 she wrote: " In WW2 she busied herself in providing warm clothing...for the British minesweeper crews and Free French sailors in northeast Scotland." Understandable that this has been interpreted as an assumption that she did this in Scotland, I've made the necessary change.Papamac (talk) 10:03, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
