Glengarnock Steel Works -Colville Staff Magazine from the 1940s

The first short article contains the names Breckenridge, Bell, Ferguson as well as a reference to the Ryeside Barracks in Dalry. This a bit of a stray as I was focussing in on the 1920s. I will get back to the 1920s shortly.

Robert Mathews, Drawing office, Glengarnock Bowling Club and some family outings in the 1940s. DK Glass making a presentation (I don´t think he worked at Glengarnock)

The sad obituary of Robert Gibson Boyce.

Glengarnock Steel: Third Annual Sports Day August 1922

Lots of local names including Margaret Johnstone´s Roselea troup of dancers…..  as well as other football and sports news:  George Dallas and AH Graham from Maryhill. Reverend Arthur R.  Wiseman, former employee of Glengarnock Steel on a trip home from Canada.

R. Taylor,  J. Harley,  R.  Sharp and R. Craig  seem to have been the winners of the day.

Lady Amy Janet Bilsland 1892 – 1979 was the Daughter of David Colville.

I was trying to figure out where Kersland Field was – from the picture it looks a lot like the football ground they have in Kilbirnie now, called Vale Park but yet Kersland was over beside Glengarnock.

Names: John Colville,  Steven Colville, Lady Bilsland, James Hamilton, Archibald Russell,  Margaret Johnstone´s Roselea troup, MB Walker, Ray Topping.
