A fact from William Grant, Lord Grant appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 15 February 2016 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that in 1955, two girls fainted at an election rally in Glasgow for Unionist candidate William Grant?

Territorial Decoration

I have not found a direct source for Grant being awarded a Territorial Decoration.

However, he is credited with a post-nominal TD in 3 of the 4 Gazette announcements of his appointments from 1958 onwards:

Year	Event	Gazette	Post-nominals
1951	QC	"No. 16879". The Edinburgh Gazette. 7 August 1951.	Esquire, advocate
1955	Solicitor General	"No. 17251". The Edinburgh Gazette. 14 January 1955.	Esquire, Q.C.
1955	elected MP	"No. 17294". The Edinburgh Gazette. 3 June 1955.	Esq
1958	Privy Counsellor	"No. 41404". The London Gazette (invalid `\|supp=` (help)). 3 June 1958.	Esq, TD, QC, MP
1959	elected MP	"No. 17760". The Edinburgh Gazette. 16 October 1959.	TD, QC
1960	Lord Avocate	"No. 17812". The Edinburgh Gazette. 12 April 1960.	QC, MP
1962	Lord Justice Clerk	"No. 18072". The Edinburgh Gazette. 25 September 1962.	TD, QC

That seems enough to include the post-nominal in the article. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:06, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
