June 2008, extract from messageboard, GlescaPal Ozbill, Aged 72yrs, Australia
This was the 199th Glasgow Boys Brigade attached to the Morriston Church,
Cambuslang which was replaced by the new St Andrews church in the town
development of the early 1960's. This photo was taken late 1950s
My cousin Bill Nisbet (known to the Webmaister) is the officer on the extreme
left. I was wondering if the lass in the front row who was the lifeboy leader
might be the Captain Jean Black of the present 229th BB.
(Its not)
I was in the 199th for a couple of years but was unable to regularly attend the
church parade on Sunday mornings because of my commitments with the Salvation
Army. My cousin Bill tried to intercede with Captain Nugent to give me an
exemption as I was attending church, albeit another denomination, but it was no
can do.

Many Thanks OzBill its a fabulous photo, I must say the Captain was being a
bit strict not allowing you to attend.
I do indeed know your cousin Bill & his wife May who both are elders of
St.Andrew's Church in Cambuslang.
Regards, Webmaister Jun.2008

Ozbill and his family at his cousin's Bill house in East Kilbride where
I took this photo. Ozbill is back hame wi' his wife, son, daughter and
son-in-law.
Bill, a family friend, invited us up to his house for the family
gathering,
PiggeryBrae
(minus Fergi who was ill)
provided the music! It was lovely to meet all the
family.

Webmaister Aug.09:
What a treasure also finding that my pal Jim Ferguson is in the old BB
photo

Fergi of course is a member of PiggeryBrae.
