Cutting Timber in Great Britain

We went to, actually in Northumberland to an army camp. Now the boys in that camp were already in Dunkirk and that was a vacated army camp and we were starting a sawmill there. So our first sawmill that went up was in Kielder, actually the address Kielder, Hexham, Northumberland. And then we cut the wood for this sawmill, on the Duke of Northumberland’s estate on the Cheviot Hills I believe. Anyway, that’s where we got our first timber from. So there were some other boys then in the next draft who come to Scotland and we closed up, most of us anyway, they sent us to, we went just outside of Inverness in Scotland and we commenced there. We built our own cabins there, that’s where we had three big log cabins. I forget how many men were actually there. So we operated then in Culloden Moor and Croy was the name of the village next to it. I forget how many million cords or feet or whatever was there to be cut, you know, but I’ve heard since that where we did cut is now an airfield.
