~ ·HIS •• :Roll of Honour ~i has been cornpilc The data herein recorded is for the 1nost part put do,vn exactly as received by me, but as the amount has far exceeded my original expectations. I have had to condense some of it, so as to keep the book ,vithin reasonable bounds. And ,vith the same object in view, I have in the main only given the names of individuals in the Genealogical Accounts ,vho took part in the Great \Var of 1914-1919_ or ,vho gave their services in connection ,vith ,vork of national importance during that period. It is owing to the above, and to the increase in printers' ,vages, and everything else in proportion, that the cost of the book has been increased. I have done n1y utmost to get into touch ,vith every known individual in the connection, but as they are scattered all over the face of the earth this was hnpossible. If those left out ,vi11 kindly communicate ,vith me I sha11 be pleased to for,vard the111 copies of this hook, proYided the demand in this direction does not exhaust the limited supply which I have kept in hand to n1eet such cases I have included a short account of scycral outstanding individuals of the connection, and trust that 1ny having done so will add to the value of the book and proYc intcre~ting reading to subscribers. I no,v thank aU concerned for data supplied by then1 and for orders for copies of this book. If those who read ,vhat I have written, derive as much pleasure from the reading as I have had in the writing, I shall consider 1nysclf a1nply repaid for 1ny work. And: in conclusion, I 1nay be permitted to inforn1 subscribers that it is due to the generosity of several me1nbers of the connection that they are getting their copies at 2/- each, under cost of production.

His father is a cousin to ~Irs. ·_Robert Ileid of Balgray, Irvine (1920). Although not directly engaged in war work, his record is ,vorthy of being included in this souvenir. ~Ir. Lindsay ,vas 27 years of age and an engineer by profession, and was einployed by the Anglo-Persian Oil Co. at .A.swaz in that capacity, and as superintendent at their oil purnping station at Ta1nhi, in Persia. On ,July 9th, 1917, one of the oil pipe valves at the above 1nentioned station burst, and, as the pressure at that point ,vas 700 lb. per square inch the oil ,vas thrown up a great height, as froin a fountain in the form of spray, in all directions. The boiler furnaces ,verc only 30 yards distant, and unless son1ething was done to stop the spouting oil at once, the whole station and cornpound, ,vhich was populated by nearly 300 native~, would in a fe,v seconds be involved in a disastrous conflagration. Mr. Lindsay, ,vho ,vas near the furnaces at the tine, at , once realised that the only means of averting a disaster was to turn off the oil fuel supply to the furnaces: thus extinguishing them, and to stop the pumps, thus cutting off the shower of oil. Any one attempting to do so ,vould have to pass through the oil sho,ver, and in so doing his clothing would be saturated ,vith oil, and not only saturated, but dripping, and to approach the glo,ving furnaces in that condition 1neant almost certain death. Mr. Lindsay, realising all this, never hesitated. He shouted to his assistant to turn off the pun1ps ; and dashing through the oil cloud had succeeded in turning off the first oil cock, ,vhen the whole oil cloud burst into flame. Mr. Lindsay's assistant no,v turned his attention to the rescuing of the superintendent, but finding egress fron1 the pump house by all doors cut off, he managed to effect his escape by a ,vindow, stupified by heat and E-lmoke, and finding Mr. Lindsay removed him away from the burning oil ; the re~cue was effected too late, as Mr. Lindsay succumbed to his injuries shortly thereafter. He saved the ,vorks from destruction, but in doing so lost his own life. In recognition of such conspicuous gallantry and self sacrifice, His Majesty the King has been graciously pleased to award the Albert, Gold Medal, and for that purpose Mr. Lindsay's father and rnother ,vere summoned to Buckingham Palace, and the King presented the 1nedal to the dead hero's father, acco1npanying the act by an expression of his admiration of his son's heroisrn, and at the sa1ne titne expressing his sympathy ,vith the bereaved parentg. The father, being a martyr to rheumatis1n, requires the assistance of a ,valking stick to get about with, and ,vhen appearing, before the King, those in attendance proceeded to deprive him of the same. To this llr. Lindsay objected, saying tha_t it ,vas impossible for him to approach His ~Iajesty if deprived of its aid. The King, realising the difficulty, said, " Let him keep his ,valking stick," and ,vith its aid he went for,vard and received his son's medal. The firm, realising :\Ir.

BARSKil\IMING (~1auchlinc Parish) was the leader and spokes1ncn of the "Lollard8 of Kyle." In 1494, fully 50 years before '\Vishart ventured to preach at 1\lauchline, many of the people in Barskiinn1ing neighbourhood had ceased attending l\tla.ss, and were reading their Bibles for the1nselves and holding religious 1neetings on their own account. their leader being Ada1n Reid, the laird of Barskimming. On account of their doing so, he and some 30 others were snm1noned to Glasgo,v, and put on their trial before King James IV. and Blackadder, the Archbishop of Glasgo,v. A1nong those sum1noned were Campbell of Cessnock, Can1pbell of Ne,vmilns, and Lady Stair. Thirty-four charges ,vere formulated against them. Adam Reid ,vas their champion, and made a bold and spirited defence, with the result that they were dismissed with an ad1nonition, told to beware of the new doctrine, and content themselves ,vith the faith of the Church. The Lollards of Kyle paved the ,vay for the Reformation of Knox in Scotland, and were ,vithout a doubt the originators of the Scottish Reformation. The Reid.s of Bonsha,v, Stacklawhill, and Balgray are an1ong the present day descendants of Ada1n Reid. 1849.
