WW1
                      Italy











 Email 17th April 2020 from Willie Green.

 ............photo taken during WW1 of my
 grandfather JAMES ALEXANDER GREEN
 who was with the Machine Gun Corp.


 He is standing at the back of the group
 which I suspect are the machine gun crew.


 The photo was taken somewhere in Italy.
 
 James lived in Landressy Street, Bridgeton
 and died in 1949.

Dear Webmaister

I was delighted to receive your email with the news that my Dad’s old BB Bible will hit the digital age through your web page.  I have moved houses in recent years and, whilst I know it is here somewhere, I just cannot lay my hands on said Bible. 

This photo will be very close to the time my Dad, Hugh Young, was in the Boys Brigade as he lied about his age when the 1st World War broke out and enlisted with the Lovat Scouts. 

He was sent to Ypres, Belgium and was there for the whole campaign.  The photo was taken just before he left (doesn’t he look apprehensive).

 




              Hugh Young was born on 22 September 1898 and was
               brought up in the Gorbals.  He died in 1976, aged 78.
