Alison MCEWAN [1950-2022]
I'm very sorry to have received news that Alison died last week. Her contributions to Gwulo include two wartime diaries that she painstakingly typed up from the originals: the account of her father, Colin McEwan, and that of R. E. Jones.
In 2010, Alison introduced us to Mr Jones's diary:
I've recently started transcribing a diary in my family's possession [...]
How my father Colin McEwan came by it we don't know, but it turned up as we slowly went through my parents' books.
