Judy The most likely candidate is R D Waddell, sausage makers and preserved provision manufacturers; works and offices 81 Napiershall Street, Glasgow ; - branches - Watson Crescent, Merchiston, Edinburgh; Pakenham Street, Belfast; 1 Rubishaw ter. lane, Aberdeen; and West India Dock Road, London e. Robert Davidson Waddell died 2 March 1929 at 'Rednock', 5 Eglinton Drive, Kelvinside. 2 of his executors were CAs but I think the third was a son, Robert Bulloch Waddell, a preserve provisions manaufacturer. The enterprising Mr Waddell left an estate of £5559. If he is a relative of yours, let me know as I live in Kelvinside and can photograph his house for you.

Diana Thank you very much. No, not a relative. My mother and her brother and sister were probably some of the children waving the flags. I have wondered if present-day family of Waddell of Glasgow knows the story. Every time my mother and aunt saw lots of people waving small flags of celebration they would say "Waddell's sausages are the best." Thank you again.
