  • In June 1936 my American grandmother, visiting my newly married mother, kept a diary of her visit including a description of their trip to the Aldershot Tattoo. It is rather longer than the space permitted here but if it would be of interest I will gladly pass it on if you can let me know what format would suit. No doubt you would wish to edit it.
