Arnold in Latvia

Readers of Arnold's War may be interested to know that at the ripe old age of 88 Arnold is visiting his old stomping grounds in Latvia. He is being accompanied by one of his granddaughters, Erin Scholfield, who lives in Sydney. The following picture was taken on their arrival at Riga Airport yesterday. I'll keep you informed and post the next episode of Arnold's War tomorrow.

From left: Inese Kurme (Arnold's third-cousin on his mothers side) and her son Valts; Erin Scholfield (Arnold's granddaughter); Arnold; Vija Grieze (Arnold's niece); Ints Silis (Arnold's grand-nephew); Lasma Sile (Ints' wife); Marita Avotina (wife of Edvins Avotins, second-cousin of Irma, Arnold's late wife. Edvins was the photographer); and Martins Gedrovics (Irma's cousin).
