My Grandad was an Asylum Attendant before and after WW1 at Gartloch……he looked after a lot of WW1 soldiers mentally scarred by the conflict.

I remember ringing up Gartloch in the 80’s….an Archivist answered the phone and happened to have my Grandfathers record of employment in front of him….how is that for coincidence
:-D :-D
