GLASGOW JOHN SMITH & SON LIMITED 1918 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2013 http://archive.org/details/glasgowacademyro1918glas PREFACE. 'T'HIS, the first edition of the Glasgow Academy Roll A of Service, contains the names of all x\cademicals who are known to have served in the Great War. It is necessarily imperfect, as many names must have been omitted : but now that the book is in the hands of those interested, a wider co-operation of aid may be looked for, and it may be hoped that the final edition will be as complete as such a work can be. Readers are earnestly requested to note any omissions or mistakes, and to communicate with Major Couper, O.T.C.. Glasgow Academy. On his shoulders has fallen the immense labour of compiling this work, and only those who have had practical experience know the amount of toil that is involved in such a task. Up to 30th September 19 18 there are recorded the names of 1450 former members of the School who have been serving in His Majesty's Forces. Of these, 2 have gained the Victoria Cross (though neither lived to enjoy that high honour); 13 the D.S.O. ; 68 the Military Cross; a bar to the Military Cross have been mentioned 4 ; 59 in Dispatches have gained the Military Medal ; 2 the ; 5 Distinguished Flying Cross ; 2 the Distinguished Service Cross 1 1 ; 3 the Distinguished Conduct Medal, while have won other honours, all duly mentioned in the Roll of Service. Of those who have served, 281 have fallen on the field or died on service. EDWIN TEMPLE. 8th October igi8 CONTENTS.
