Other Photos
Note from Bruce E. Walkup: Included below are a selection of
a few photos mostly that I
did not take, but wished I had. I intend to add to these over time as
people send them to me. Enjoy...

window at Liberton Kirk August 2006 - Note dedication to the memory of Maj. Gen.

promised that the door knocker would be installed one day on the front door of
a new 'Wauchope House'
in which it was late Fall 2022.
