petestarling Posted 4 October , 2017 Share Posted 4 October , 2017 A friend of mine believes that up to the end of 1914 some bodies were repatriated from the BEF, in this case to Glasgow and that they were taken to a subterranean room in Glasgow Central Station wrapped in a blanket on a stretcher. The stretcher was marked half way down the canvas with a X in a white circle. He believes a stretcher is preserved on site. Has anyone heard of this and does the marking have any significance?

seaJane Posted 5 October , 2017 Share Posted 5 October , 2017 Couple of possible archive sources:- https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/research/guides/railway-records http://www.railarchive.org.uk/research.htm The records might also reside with whichever company operated that particular line. (I was in Glasgow Central last September and if there is anything preserved I didn't see it signposted. According to Wiki the station is managed by Network Rail, so I suppose you could ask them, but ... ). ATB sJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
