"Great website wee man! The old photos of Brigton and Dalmarnock just make the years roll back to great memories.The BB photographs are excellent and it would be great if some older members could send in some memories or photos to let some of the "young team" see what the BB was like in years gone bye."

"Great site. There's so much to comment on. I lived in Greenhead St. I was in the 219th at the church on London Rd at the bottom of Kerr St, with the modern murals, the 155th at Bridgeton Methodist at Landressy St/James St Corner and 92nd at Bridgeton Parish Church at the corner of Dale St/Old Dalmarnock Rd. There was the 209th at Rockcliffe Parish at Rockclife St and the 106th at London Road St Clements.
Some of the officers I remember were Mr Glass, Walter Kelly, Mr Wainwright, Donald Ellis, Mr McConnachie, Joe Bovill, Johnny Holmes,Tom Mackie, Mr Winning. We did woodwork for our Arts and Crafts badges at the YMCA in London Rd."

"....... I have just looked at the 219thBB website, and I must say it is absolutely brilliant. You have obviously been very busy over the last few days as I see you have added plenty of photos, keep up the good work! I am sure that as time goes on, more and more of the lads will discover this site and visit it regularly, especially when they are feeling down as this will really give them a lift.
I am now back at my work on a North Sea oil rig and a visit to this website has brightened up my Saturday night in this "godforsaken place". Well " Auld Da" I will have to go and give someone else a turn of this computer. The computer access out here is not too clever so you will probably hear from me in a couple of weeks time ....... All the Best! for now

"I came across these while rummaging in a cupboard today. Thought they might be of historical BB interest to Webmaister Wull. I asked John for permission to post them as they are really his. Left behind when he went to America in 1959. Helped to educate his wee brother (me)"
Three books awarded from the 219th BB to a young John McLaughlin.... the books were Tom Brown's Schooldays, Coral Island and The three Musketeers.
