Old scouts invited to retrace pilgrimage
Nearly 500 scouts joined a total of 1,200 pilgrims on a memorable trip to Gibraltar, Naples and Rome where they had an audience with Pope Pius XI. Old photographs, cine film or other memorabilia would be of great interest.
Scouting Ireland is planning a major commemoration of the event next month in the national campsite at Larch Hill outside Dublin.
Students of World War II will know the Lancastria was subsequently attacked off the coast of France in 1940 while acting as a troop carrier and sank with the loss of nearly 5,000 lives.
If you can be of any assistance, please contact me at the address below.
