General Kemp decided a newspaper for soldiers was necessary to combat boredom plaguing the numerous troops of the Orkney garrison and recruited Eric Linklater to do the job. 'The Orkney Blast' came into existence on 17th January, 1914 with the help of G M Meyers who later became the editor of 'The Orcadian' newspaper. The Blast also contained an article on St Magnus' Cathedral by J Storer Clouston. This very first edition of 'The Orkney Blast' is in good condition with browning of pages, two small holes where paper has been folded and minor chipping to edges. An historic piece of WWII military history that recognises the value of Scapa Flow, where Cockney soldiers brought the natural harbour into our language through their rhyming slang. A very scarce item.
