The author focuses on his grandfather, Willie Patterson. Born in 1883, Willie grew up in a notorious slum district of Glasgow. After leaving school he worked for a time as a labourer and then joined the British army. He served in Ireland and India until 1910 and saw distinguished service in the East African campaign of the First World War. Willie won the Military Medal for 'conspicuous gallantry in action and devotion to duty'.
