The Crew of HMS Columbine |

The Crew Thank you to John Gordon for sending me the photograph above. It comes from an Album of Photos and Postcards that that was kept during World War I by his great Aunt, Emily Borrowman, when she worked in the Post Office at South Queensferry. |

John added: "it appears that Emily spent almost all of WWI at South Queensferry, working at the Post Office. When the Grand Fleet was in the Forth this must have been a busy Post Office." John Gordon, Easdale, Oban, Argyll & Bute, Scotland: February 5, 2013. |

Comparing this photo with others with that have a similar backdrop, it seems likely that the photo at the top of this page would have been taken at Peter McGill's studio on Hawes Pier, Queensferry. |

The Ship Here is a photograph of HMS Columbine, probably taken somewhere in the Firth of Forth. This also comes from the World War I Album that was kept by Emily Borrowman.
