Re: Queen Mum



I have asked David Mitchell, a guiding influence
behind the forthcoming Cape Town Highlanders trip to the UK,

David and his wife will be spending an evening with Niven in London.

I understand that the Cape Town Highlanders  will  be
the senior Commonwealth regiment, in the sorry absence of the Australians.
