Caithness Field Club

Caithness Field Club Bulletin
2005

The Secret Army (see previous article) had its own magazine. One copy was found in a Caithness home. It had 3 pages stapled together, the cover blue, with patriotic articles, a military quiz, jokes, promotions (and one demotion!), but giving no clue to the purpose of the organisation.

It was produced for the whole N. of Scotland area of 201 BN using a Gestetner copying process which involved typing through a waxed sheet to make a master whereby the ink flowed through the holes in the sheet when it was fixed on an inked drum. Mistakes had to be filled in with waxy "corrector" and retyped. Understandably the amateur editor did not bother too much about corrections!

Below just one of the main articles is reproduced to give a taste of the mind-set and concern of the senior officer.
