Book Description
Excerpt from Letters and Memorials of Captain William A. Douglas, 6th Battalion the Royal Scots William Anderson Douglas will remain with many of us "a green memory." I can picture him now as if I had seen him yesterday - a fact which in itself is a tribute to his personality. I recall his strong, well-built figure, his handsome face with its fine jaw, and the level, direct, fearless glance of his eye. He always gave one the impression of strength and cleanness, physical and moral. One guessed, by the very look of him, that he walked in straight ways. That poise of the head - slightly thrown back, and giving a steady look to the whole face - was thoroughly characteristic. His speech added tone to the picture, for it had a slight note of deliberateness, as though he were saying precisely what he was thinking. Altogether, I remember few men who gave me such an impression of honesty and candour. Lest I should give the impression that he was "over-serious," I should like to say that his laugh is what I remember best; yet even it was in keeping with the rest of him, frank, hearty, and clear.
