We had to pull two tables together to accommodate the 15 members who had been able to stay on afterwards for the reception in the Winter Gardens.. The assembled company, including representatives of The King’s Own Scottish Borderers, John’s extended family, Pollokshields Heritage Centre, Pollokshields Church and The Allan Glen’s School Club followed Finlay MacDonald . Head of Piping Studies at the National Piping Centre, from the People’s Palace to the commem- oration stone beside the Doulton Fountain. The Lord Provost made the formal welcoming remarks, following which Myra Grant, John’s Great Niece, read the awe-inspiring Citation (reproduced below). Finlay MacDonald played “Flowers of the Forest” while the wreaths were laid by The Lord Provost Stewart Skinner, John’s Great Nephew from Lancashire Colonel Angus Loudon MBE, President of the KOSB Association John Cochrane, President of the School Club, and Stewart Crawford, Probationary Minister, Pollokshields Church Alan Skinner then read a poem, Our Soldier Brave , (also reproduced below) that he had written for the event, then Stewart Skinner, another Great Nephew (who had travelled all the way from Australia for the event) presented the vote of thanks, following which Finlay MacDonald played a specially-commissioned piece he had composed for the occasion. To cap everything off, George Grant, Myra’s husband, presented Colonel Loudon with a painting called "Carriers." The following quotation reproduced on its back label was the inspiration for the painting ‘CARRIERS’ ‘’The orders at the time were, to leave the dead in the trenches, it was considered too fatiguing to carry the bodies back across the devastated area of the Passchendaele salient The Battalion was relieved that night, and quite unknown to the officer, Sergeant Ross and the men of his company, car- ried Skinner’s body back the long 17 miles to the rest area in Vlamertinghe. We were told this by Sergeant Ross some years ago, just before he died’’ ‘CARRIERS’ ‘’They got his body down, and six other VCs, all of the same 29 th Division, bore him from the gun carriage to his grave in the cemetery at Vlamertinghe. One was a private soldier and another was a General’’ The above quotations are taken from extracts of ‘I Was There’ by Rev. Kenelm Swallow Please take the time to read Alan’s excellent epic poem in full – which I defy you to do without shedding a tear! It covers the astonishing career of Company Sergeant Major John Skinner VC, DCM, CdeG, from lying about his age at the age of 16 to join the KOSB and fight in the Boer War to lying in the fields of Flanders having been fatally wounded by a sniper’s bullet while trying to rescue a wounded comrade from no-man’s-land – epitomising the military adage, “You fight for your country – but you die for your mates.” Ross Ballantyne Allan Glen's School Club Newsletter No 48 September 2017 Page 2 John Skinner VC Citation John Skinner was 34 years old, and an acting company sergeant major in the 1st Battalion, The King's Own Scottish Borderers, British Army, during the First World War. Displaying astounding bravery throughout the war, together with excellent leadership, he received the Victoria Cross for both of these attributes displayed during the Battle of Passchendaele on 16 August 1917 at Wijdendrift, Belgium. Whilst his company was attacking, machine gun fire opened on the left flank, delaying the advance. Although C.S.M. Skinner was wounded in the head, he collected six men, and with great courage and determination worked round the left flank of three blockhouses from which the machine gun fire was coming, and succeeded in bombing and taking the first blockhouse single-handed; then, leading his six men towards the other two blockhouses, he skilfully cleared them, taking sixty prisoners, three machine guns, and two trench mortars. The dash and gallantry displayed by this warrant officer enabled the objective to be reached and consolidated. Sir Beauvoir de Lisle, the KOSB’s Commanding Officer, writing of John Skinner described him as “the bravest man I met in a war won by brave men”. John Skinner was killed in action, Vlamertinghe, Belgium, on 17 March 1918. Our Soldier Brave John Kendrick Skinner, known as Jock A At Wijdendrift the battle raged While home on leave Jock took the chance Glasgow boy, from highland stock His T’was fearsome how this war was waged To tie the knot in his romance Dad had moved the Skinner flock From And Jock’s platoon was sore engaged The Church duly proclaimed the banns Ross-shire’s fields.

Jock took to learning in his stride Alone Jock moved against the first But not long after that great day At Melville Street and Queen's Park High Despite the fierce machine gun bursts To Flanders Fields Jock made his way Then Allan Glen's it did provide He paid no heed to wounds he nursed When asked why, he would simply say His education. To reach his goal. “My men are there. But Jock had one aim deep inside And almost forty prisoners cursed So I must help them face the fray To serve his nation. Our heroic soul. Not be elsewhere”. Though just sixteen Jock did apply Then Jock cried "come men, follow me" At Vlamertinghe Jock spotted lying (He claimed eighteen – a wee white lie) And stormed to blockhouse two then three In no-mans-land, a comrade dying No matter how his Dad did try And with outstanding bravery Jock ventured out, a rescue trying With fervent pleas. The day was won. Midst battle’s roar. Jock took the oath requested by For sixty of the enemy But then a sniper’s bullet flying KOSBs Their war was done. Jock was no more.

  • CTPI Newsletter Oct 06
    Newsletter No 11, October 2006 Centre for Theology and Public Issues This first newsletter of the new academic session finds CTPI in a period of settling after the uncertainty of last year. Cecelia Clegg, was appointed Director of CTPI from 1 April 2006. Cecelia writes: “I am not new to CTPI but I have decided to give myself this year to take soundings about the future direction of the Centre… not that our work will stop, on the contrary as you will see we have quite a full programme in view. Rather I am, with the help of Alison Elliot, Associate Director, putting in place a new, wide ranging reference group to help us to shape our agenda over the coming 5 years. In addition, I am moving gradually through a series of meetings with key people in churches, faith communities, voluntary organisations, statutory agencies, academic life, political life and social policy work to get an up to date sense of both their concerns and the gaps in public theological commentary in Scotland and beyond. This year also offers an unparalleled opportunity for the Centre to bid for Research Council funding in the Religion and Society programme. It will be a busy year but one that I hope will open up new and not so new topics for consideration, informed discussion and action - research. I am particularly glad to be working in close collaboration with Alison Elliot who brings so much expertise and experience to our team. Alison is also involved in a large number of groups and activities outside of CTPI which both enrich and open doors for CTPI in various ways.” Alison Elliot, Associate Director, gives us a flavour of her many undertakings.

No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form without the prior permission of the author, Diarmid Campbell, Kilchoan Farmhouse, Kilmelford, Argyll PA34. iii iv Preface This is a reference book more than a readable history. I plan a shorter and more accessible version based upon this in the future, intended for those preferring their history a faster-paced and less detailed style, yet fully annotated. Any history is never complete. It is only a caught image of the research of the moment. Although based on many years of investigation and the collecting material by many people over much of the 20th century, such a picture of a kindred is always fluid and growing organically. But since it is rare that anyone has the time or interest to bring such facts together and attempt an analysis, placing them in a wider context, and since my interest was piqued by exile for part of my life, in retirement I have both the time and interest. There may always be more to discover, but having reached my late seventies, I decided that it was time to put together this collection of academic-style papers, even although I can continue researching and collecting in what is currently called a digital format.
