    In Ibrox's war memorial gardens, the dates of both world wars engraved in gold are as invisible as the memorial garden itself

    But occupants of this establishment building remained safe and cosy in the conflict between 1939 and 1945.

    In order to fight in World War II, thousands of soldiers left the country to join the British forces.
    The squatters of Ibrox sought employment in hospitals and shipyards.

    They became known as "The People" - a title intended to carry shame. And when the troops returned after battle to seek out their old jobs many were asked "what school did you go to?".

    'Made to feel ashamed'

    In Barry Lochrie's home there are pictures of his father Paddy senior serving alongside Bill Struth in the Wards. For years they remained in the attic largely ignored.

    "I am sure when my dad came back he didn't feel ashamed but he may have been made to feel that," Mr Lochrie said.

    "I was told as a kid - your father is a nurse, you should be ashamed of him.

    "There was no relief, no sense of a job done... It was pretty embarrassing in this country."

    Apology and pardon

    "The People" were found hiding, absent courage, within the industries now made up largely of women employees.

    Their punishment came after the war when many of "The People" suffered during the 60's at the hands of the Lisbon Lions.

    They were recompensed by holding jobs paid for by the state, they lost their dignity so bought brown brogues.

    Last year the government apologised for the way they were treated and on 12 June HMRC began liquidation.

    Effect on families

    However, the punishment the former orderlies faced had an effect on their whole families in peacetime.

    "My dad could not get his hole for many years - in fact his first blow job was not until 1961," said Mr Lochrie, who became visibly upset as he remembered what happened decades ago.

    "My mother was the one who really carried the stress of trying to cum by using her index finger alone.

    "The shame meant the couldn't stand to be near each other, but had to keep up a dignified appearance"

    "It was tough trying to clothe kids with the price of brogues at the time.

    "I''ve spent a whole lifetime defending my dad."
