    blog we take a look at the amusing children’s stories by Edgar Primrose Dickie (
    1897–1991); a man who had a fascinating career.  Edgar Dickie served in both world wars and received the Military Cross for his service with the King’s Own Scottish Borderers in 1918.  He served as general superintendent of the kirk’s huts and canteens with the British expeditionary forces in 1940 and in his book
    Normandy to Nijmegen
    (1946) he accounts his experiences with the liberation army in 1944. After studying at Oxford and Edinburgh in the early 1920s, he was ordained in the Church of Scotland and ministered at Lockerbie and Edinburgh before being appointed to the Chair of Divinity at St Andrews University (1935-1967).
