The company was formed in
1914 under the name of the 4th Rutherglen

designation. They are part of Cathkin District
and the only original Rutherglen company still
in operation...........
The 195th BB meet at Wardlawhill
Church hall in Rutherglen ..... see their website
.
2007.....Wardlawhill
Church in Hamilton Road, Rutherglen
closed and formed a union with the
Rutherglen West Parish Churh ( home
of the 248th BB) to become Rutherglen West
& Wardlawhill Parish Church. However the 195
BB company continue to meet in its
Hamilton Road church hall, under the
auspices of Alistair K. McInnes, the
company Captain. ( Alistair kindly wrote
to me in Jan.2008 to give me this
update.) |
