Not sure if this is my grandfather or my dad's grandfather. My dad is James William Annal who passed away on the 29-02-12 and was buried today.

[Sorry to hear of your loss Reg - best wishes, Steven]

Having known your late father James William Annal (not terribly well) and his father William Annal (better known as Bill) who was my next door neighbour at one time (in the 1950's) I am quite sure that the gentleman in this photo must be your Great Grandfather.
I too send you my deepest sympathy at this time.

I am very grateful to you Peter for the info the last time I visited Orkney. I was about six and it is about time I came to visit again as I am now fifty six. My dad came back a few years ago for my auntie Margaret's funeral. Take care - Reg Annal

How do I send a photo of James William Annal R.S.M (RAOC) to this site thank you? Reg Annal.
