A Fife war hero who risked life and limb in the Arctic convoys is hoping he wakes up to an independent Scotland on Friday.
Thomas Lennie, 88, from Newburgh, who received an Arctic Star medal by the British Government as well as a medal from Russia for his bravery, took to the polls to cast his Yes vote.
The last surviving member of the Russian Convoy Club Dundee branch said that although he served in the British forces there was never any question of him voting against Scotland governing itself.
He told The Courier: “I was glad to be given the opportunity to vote yes for an independent Scotland.
“I have always felt very proud to be Scottish and I voted yes because I believe it’s the best thing for Scotland.
“I simply don’t see why we can’t rule our own affairs there is no good reason why not.”
As part of the crew of HMS Red Mill, Mr Lennie was involved in detecting enemy submarines off the coast of Russia during the Second World War.
He was part of a mission which claimed the lives of more than 3,000 sailors and survived his ship being hit by an enemy torpedo.
The aim of the mission was to ensure Britain’s allies on the Eastern Front were kept supplied with food and vital equipment in the fight against Germany.
