Ralph Paterson’s Jumper in Shetland, by vanesther

Went to the Shetland Islands a week ago and to my own surprise, there is a historical link between Shetland and Hong Kong...! There's a jumper on display that belonged to Ralph Paterson at the Shetland Museum and Archives in Lerwick. It was made by Doris Hunter before they got married. Ralph returned to Shetland after the war. Very interesting.
