Hello and welcome!
The following Appendices are included for the reader who wishes to delve deeper into some aspects of Comunn na Feinne’s wider activities which, because of length, had to be left out of the main body of the CNF story.
Appendix 15 contains are large number of photographs which could not be included in the main body of the text. Most of these were contained in the Mr Ron Carmichael CNF folders which he had assembled over a period of many years. Some were obtained from sources all over Australia and New Zealand.
The photographs on page 260-261 of the book show (top) Piper John Kidd, shortly after his enlistment in the Gordon Highlanders. The second group photograph (bottom) shows Piper John Kidd (centre) with Piper Allen George Findlater to the right and Piper Thomas Patrick Milne to the left. These three men were wounded storming the Heights of Dargai.
These photographs are included courtesy of Mrs G. White whose late husband, Mr John White, was Piper John Kidd’s grandson.
We acknowledge our gratitude to Mrs White for allowing us to include these photographs.
The appendices are saved as .pdf files, and are listed in order below. We updated them on 27 February 2019.
The files are for reference purposes only, and may not be reproduced in any way without the permission of the authors, obtained via the publisher.
