This photo was taken on an exchange school holiday to Cullen in Banfshire. Does anyone
remember it. In this photo are pupils & teachers from Chapelhall & Blantyre
schools. I am 6th from left (funny hair doo) middle row and Cathy Currie is 10th from
left. Happy days indeed Ann McPherson (Nee Hobbs) ) |
Following 3 photos donated by Iain Cox - Nov 2010 My grandfather, Walter Reid Prentice, is in top row (far right) in the c1905 photo, and third from left in bottom row (in shorts) in c1911 photo (Hallside). Walter was born in September 1897, the 6th of eight children of Thomas
Prentice and Margaret Reid. As a boy he attended Hallside Public School, Cambuslang. He
was also a member of the 1st Company Cambuslang Boys Brigade, winning the coveted Squad
Medal in year 1913/14. He enlisted in the 5th Battalion Scottish Rifles (Cameronians) in
November 1914, and was in the trenches when the famous 1914 Christmas Truce took place.
Walter was wounded in 1916, and was on convalescent leave when the Battle of the Somme
started, in which much of his company was killed or wounded. Walter returned to the front
and survived the war, and married in 1931. He served in the Home Guard during WW2, the
effects of gassing from the Great War preventing him from serving in the front line
forces. |

This is a page dedicated to the old Hallside Primary School near Cambuslang Glasgow, which was demolished in the late 1980s. These photos were taken by Gordon Stevenson and recently found on an old hard drive, brought back to the public on facebook. Enjoy...
