"Privately Remembered: Unveiling the Untold Stories" In a quiet corner of Liberton Industrial School, Edinburgh, a memorial notice catches our attention. It bears the name Julian Gould, forever etched in remembrance as part of D Company. As we delve into history's archives, we discover tales that were once privately held. Amongst the faded photographs and aged postcards lies an intriguing artifact—a Lee Enfield Mk I. 303 bolt-action sniper rifle from 1916. Its silent whispers transport us to another time when it served its duty on the White Star Line's ill-fated RMS Titanic. The somber atmosphere continues as we stumble upon an image capturing Pope Pius IX lying in state—an intimate moment shared only with those who paid their respects. Similarly, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson fought against societal barriers in 1865 to be licensed by the Society of Apothecaries after being denied admission to medical schools due to her gender. A poignant memorial stands tall for Harry Patch—the last British veteran—honoring his service and sacrifice privately cherished by those who understand the weight of history. We imagine Jesus himself being interviewed privately by Pontius Pilate during one fateful encounter that would change humanity forever. Coldbath House emerges from forgotten memories—a place where stories unfolded behind closed doors; while Dr Guthries Boys Industrial School nurtured young souls away from prying eyes within its walls at Liberton, Edinburgh. Shifting our gaze towards aviation marvels, De Havilland Tiger Moth VH-SNT takes flight over private Australian skies in 1998—an embodiment of freedom soaring above earthly constraints. Meanwhile, De Havilland Leopard Moth G-AIYS gracefully dances through Berwick's airspace—a symbol of elegance reserved for privileged moments aloft. These glimpses into private realms remind us that beyond public narratives lie untold tales waiting to be discovered.
