- DW: Aileen Clarke (17, b. 1903)DD: Agatha Grace (15, b. 1905)
DD: Elizabeth Catherine (12, b. 1908)
AS: Robert Warren "Bobby" (10, b. 1910)
DS: John Malcolm (5, b. 1915)The past five years have seen the Sutherland family deal with many highs and lows. On his 16th birthday James had signed up to the army and was sent straight to the front line, during this time the family didn't hear from him at all and feared the worst. Luckily James survived and came home in one piece, the same could not be said for Catherine's brothers... Malcolm didn't make it and John lost both his legs in the war, leaving her family devastated.There was also good news however as both Margaret Rose and James were married before 1920. Sending Margaret Rose to Edinburgh to better herself certainly worked as she met there a travelling Lord from England by the name of Humphrey Trumpington-Bonnet who found the young woman enchanting. They wed four months later (1919) and he whisked her away to his family's estate on the outskirts of London. There she soon gave birth to a daughter, Georgiana Marion. Margaret Rose writes home frequently and comes north as often as she can. James meanwhile took the quickie wedding to a whole new level when he wed Aileen Clarke, the daughter of his dad's boss, after a week of meeting her. Catherine thinks the war turned his brain to mush, but wishes them every happiness. James and Aileen and now expecting their first child together.Agatha and Elizabeth can't wait for their mother to send them to Edinburgh, and hope they will have half the luck of Margaret Rose in finding a suitor like Humphrey! Robert is too young still to really understand what's going on (to him girls are still yucky) and he spends his time looking out for little John, despite their age difference they are really close.
