Old Boys of the Brigade

283rd possil amalgamated with Hamilton Hill to become the 87th on saracen st. Myself and three brothers in it at the same time for a little while
 
I was 7th Wishaw.
Are you sure it wasn’t 3rd Wishaw.
Mate 2nd Wishaw was the largest in the Battalion. We also won the Battalion flag for most of the seventies and eighties. We were regular Scottish drill champions and regular flute band champions. BB camp was South of England or Jersey brilliant times. Most of the guys I remember joined the police or prison service or joined the Armed forces. Still got my Queens Badge.
