Boys Brigade 4th Rutherglen
(195th
Glasgow) |
..
.
The
company was formed in 1914 under the name of the 4th Rutherglen
but was integrated into
Glasgow
Battalion to become its present 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.) |

Another wonderful photograph taken 1950, they certainly knew how to
set-up a photograph in those days!
