Delight as cross honouring war hero minister re-hung at Scots Kirk in Paris
A large wooden cross gifted to a war hero minister by a Capital school has been re-hung in his former church after languishing in a cellar for nearly 20 years.
The cross was presented to Rev Dr Donald Caskie, who helped save more than 2,000 allied service personnel during the Second World War, by George Watson’s College.
Known as the Tartan Pimpernel, Dr Caskie played a key role in looking after the welfare of pupils taking part in an exchange programme at Lycee Henri IV in Paris in the 1950s.
