    Is William Wilson Douglas the son of the founder of the famous motorcycle firm? He had taken part in the 1911 Isle of Man T.T. Races.

    During the First World War Douglas Motorcycles of Hanham Road, Kingswood, won an army contract and produced 25,000 machines for the use of dispatch riders in the worst terrain of the Front.

    After the Great War he was in the U.S.A and Canada promoting the firm.

    I think there was a daughter, Rosina? Or am I getting my generations mixed up?

    Yours aye,

    William

    Heather, for the record, you have replied to me separately saying that you do not think that there is a connection with the Douglas Motorcycle company.
