Almina, Lady Carnarvon, 1876-1969 said:
Sir John Cowans was certainly an administrative genius . As QuarterMaster General of the British Army during First World War he was descibed as "The best QuarterMaster since Moses". His honours and decorations include CB, KCB, GCB and GCMG. On the other hand he had human weaknesses. Cowans was " General X " in the lurid legal case of Dennistoun v Dennistoun, from 1925. He was cited by Dororthy Dennistoun the defendant in that case as having given preferment to her husband, Lt Colonel Ian Onslow Dennistoun during his career in the British Army. Dorothy also claimed she became Cowans' mistress in exchange for the General advancing Ian Dennistoun's army career. John Cowans, the man behind the General and his citation in the Dennistoun case is substantially described in "Tales From The Cabbage Patch" - a forthcoming biography of Almina, Countess of Carnarvon, 1876-1969 by William Cross, FSA Scot. On the death of Almina's first husband, George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon, of King Tut fame, she married the above mentioned Lt Colonel Ian Onslow Dennistoun. Lady Cowans, aka Eva Mary Coulson, the widow of General Cowans survived until 1934. For further information please contact williecross@aol.com

The plane in the foreground appears to be a Bristol F.2B Fighter, recognizeable by the unusual gap between the fuselage and the bottom wing. I wish these photos were available in a larger size. Are the originals this small ? Or did someone reduce their size before uploading to Flickr ? .
