kinnethmont Posted 3 September , 2006 Share Posted 3 September , 2006 Malcolm Does the Roll include men of The North of Scotland Railway Company? If so, I would appreciate the details of William Middleton and Edward Adam Souter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Linham Posted 4 September , 2006 Author Share Posted 4 September , 2006 Malcolm Does the Roll include men of The North of Scotland Railway Company? If so, I would appreciate the details of William Middleton and Edward Adam Souter. Kinnethmont W. Middleton was employed as a Porter and E.A. Souter as a Clerk. The correct title for the railway is the Great North of Scotland railway. Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mruk Posted 8 September , 2006 Share Posted 8 September , 2006 Many Thanks Lyndon, what work would a 'B Labourer' do? It sounds a bit more strenuous than the work I'm doing now. Kind Regards, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind Regards, Dave Dave, Within the last week I have seen a tele programme (UK History I think) which described a B Labourer in the following terms. 1st - Full time employees 2nd - B Labourers - staff who were not full time employees but who by previous experince etc who be preferred option if extra staff were required - these were listed on the B List. 3rd - Any casual staff eployed as required.

Guest mruk Posted 17 September , 2006 Share Posted 17 September , 2006 Many thanks for the explanation Malcolm. I shall have to pay more attention to the TV guide, and look out for something on railways. I have another question, if I may, and it relates to the ceremomy at St. Paul's. Do you know if it was broadcast? It's just that I've come across a memorial service for the West Yorkshire Regiment which was held at York Minster in 1926, and the source says it was also broadcast. Whether this means the setting up of a few speakers, or an actual recording of the ceremony, I don't know--though maybe the Thanksgiving at St. Paul's was too early.

RobertBr Posted 18 September , 2006 Share Posted 18 September , 2006 The discount shopping (Outlet Centre) in Swindon is housed in converted GWR workshops. In it are plaques listing those who served and those who lost their lives in both WW1 and WW2. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind Regards, Dave Dave, I see from my first post that I did not describe the service as prehaps I should of, it took place on Wednesday 14 May 1919. There is nothing to indicate that it was broadcast - I am certain that the BBC were not in existance then. Regards Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mruk Posted 18 September , 2006 Share Posted 18 September , 2006 Thanks Malcolm, You're right, I wasn't thinking, it was some five or six years later. I've just photocopied the Order of Service held at Leeds Parish Church around the same time [May 1919]. There's no names, just a memorial service, and an address by Rev. Heywood, the Vicar of Leeds. If anyone needs to locate the 10-page 'programme' at Leeds Library, the reference is: LP 264 PAR [in Memory of the Railwaymen of Great Britain and Ireland who have died in the Service of their Country during the War] Cheers Malcolm.
