A POSTER commemorating the River Clyde's crucial involvement in the Second World War has been be unveiled at Gourock railway station. It's the brainchild of former BBC Scotland sports commentator Alastair Alexander, who was born at Parklea Farm, Port Glasgow, and brought up at Margaret Street, Greenock. He is the author of Action Stations! U-boat Warfare in the Clyde in Two World Wars and has now produced a poster about his research.
