Just found out about GlescaPals. I was a member of
Calton New Parish and was brought up through
Calton New Parish Church from childhood to
adulthood. You will probably remember the 28th
BB which I became Captain of after Bobby
Anderson gave it up. We had brilliant Summer
holidays and weekends to St Cyrus. I am still in
touch with some of the officers including Kerr
Reid.
A year past last July we had an Officers reunion
with our wives to St Cyrus and visited the old
camp site down the Beach. Took some nostalgic
photographs and still have some from our summer
camps many years ago now.
Remember you from the
219th BB who were our fellow BB Company in
the Church. Do you remember the 177th from the
Gallowgate, Bill Owens was the Captain. Happy days
