My thanks for the comments on Glasgow and "Red
Clydeside" in 1926.
 
I'm also remembering a report that King George V was
assassinated with one shot in the left eye from a .303
at about 300 yards at Abergele, north Wales, in 1926
and a double was used in his place - known in the
music hall songs celebrating the event as "The Man Who
Wore The Beard" on account of George V's full and
face-concealing beard.

Anyone heard the same story?

Regards
