The Boys’ Brigade

An MBE: a red ribbon and suspended below a crown and then cross

The Boys’ Brigade was founded on 5th October 1883, in Glasgow. Glasgow City Archives holds records from the Glasgow Battalion, including the 1st Glasgow Company founded by Sir William Alexander Smith…In the Free College Church mission building, in Woodlands.

Since then, the BB, the first uniformed youth movement in the world, has grown from this single company - the 1st Glasgow - into a global movement.

I have some photos of my time in the BB which may bring memories to some people. Sorry for their being a fair number. They will be uploaded here soon, in the meantime please visit the Facebook Page to see the images.
