A BRITISH Armed Forces veteran’s exploits during National Service 60 years ago will be front and centre of an innovative UK-wide new heritage project. Eric Blackie, who grew up in Haddington and Edinburgh before serving at Cardington, is one of 18 former servicemen included in a National Lottery-funded project called National Service Remembered. It has been 60 years since National Service ended in the UK and the campaign, run by the not-for-profit organisation Same but Different, captures a period of the country’s cultural history through the eyes of the men who served. Eric, who lived in Haddington – although he cannot remember where – before moving to Edinburgh at the age of 10, was posted to Germany as a dog handler in the military police and says the project, powered by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, is allowing him to revel in a dose of National Service nostalgia.
