On 5th May 1917, former New Zealand Prime
Mnister Sir Joseph Ward inspected the Boys'
Brigade at Queen's Park.
A number of ex-Boys' Brigade members served in
World War 1, with many in the 16th Battalion
Highland Light Infantry,
the 'Holy Second'.
Other regiments and battalions were represented,
seen in the Roll of Honour for the 82nd Glasgow
Company based at Queen's Park.
GCA holds records from the Glasgow Battalion,
including the 1st Glasgow Company founded by Sir
William Smith in 1883.
