GWF1967 Posted 28 September , 2017 Share Posted 28 September , 2017 Hi, I purchased a single dog tag marked to Rev. Wm. Howie. P. 8 A&SH. Any information on Rev. Howie or how to research him would be welcome. I found a link from a previous thread, but it no longer seems to work. http://www.chaplains-museum.hampshire.org.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolt968 Posted 28 September , 2017 Share Posted 28 September , 2017 (edited) The record of all Church of Scotland ministers is Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae. The succession of ministers in the parish churches of Scotland . However the versions usually found online are usually very old. The version available in ancestry only goes up to 1860ish, I think. There should be relatively up to date versions in some libraries. RM Edit: If he served overseas he should have medals and therefore a medal rolls index card.

HarryBrook Posted 28 September , 2017 Share Posted 28 September , 2017 (edited) Rev. William Howie, B.D., Church of Scotland, was appointed Army Chaplain 4th Class, ranking as Capt., on 1 December 1909, Territorial Force. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/28336/page/869 see heading of section on page 868 Promoted to Chaplain 3rd Class 1 December 1919 https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/32234/supplement/1452 From the Active List to be Chaplain 3rd Class on reorganisation 24 November 1923. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/32882/page/8065 Retired 18 October 1930 https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/33655/page/6479 He does not have an interview record card in the Army Chaplains Museum archive, no doubt because he was appointed well before the Great War. Edit: Dunoon does seem to be his base, see Scottish Post Office Directory http://digital.nls.uk/directories/browse/archive/90673009?mode=transcription Edited 28 September , 2017 by HarryBrook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 19 February , 2020 Share Posted 19 February , 2020 I am not sure that the links above from the London Gazette all refer to the same W Howie BD. The one from 1910, which is his appointment to the A & S H, is correct I believe, but the others which refer to a general army chaplain may not be. William Howie, minister of Dunoon and chaplain of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders was my grandfather. He died in 1929, so cannot have reached retiral age and retired in 1930.

Guest Posted 19 February , 2020 Share Posted 19 February , 2020 My sister and I visited Dunoon a few years ago. The Castle House Museum had a record of a regimental service (in 1914 I think) I thought I had a photograph of it but I can't find it now. There is some suggestion William did go to France to perform a service at least once (after one of the major battles, I think) but we have not found any definitive proof of that. He was Minister of Dunoon from 1901 until his death in 1929. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
