Old Photographs

Seen here are the boys and staff of the 3rd Greenock circa 1920.
The 3rd's Captain at that time was William Hutchison, who served as captain from 1909 to 1937.

The 3rd Greenock Gymnastic Squad limber up in 1920 at the back of the Mount Kirk church.

Captured on a postcard from 1941, just weeks after the Town was bombed during "The Greenock Biltz", is this picture of the 92nd Greenock company.

Led by Mr. R. K. Brew, Battalion Secretary and Captain of the 9th Greenock, the 92nd was pooled from the boys of the 2nd Greenock and the 9th Greenock due to wartime limitations.

One of the boys of the "Dandy 9th", as they were called, is a very well known good friend to the present staff and boys of the 3rd Greenock.
Seated in the second row, 4th from the right is Mungo S. Brooks, who went on to Captain the 2nd Greenock from 1955 to 1982.

At the start of the 1995-96 session, the 3rd opted to have official company photographs taken. This first one, shows just the boys of the three sections, and was taken in the Mount Kirk church.
Some of the boys in the red Anchor boys' jerseys are now Company section members!!

The second of our photographs from the start of the 1995-96 session shows both the boys and the Staff of the three sections.

During the Queens visit to Edinburgh, boys of the Inverclyde Battalion are usually invited along with other companies to form a Royal Guard of Honour.
This picture shows four members of the 3rd Greenock outsides St Giles in Edinburgh.
Hidden behind the camera is our very own lensman, Lt Stewart Smith.

The 2nd Greenock Junior Section circa 1967, taken when the company was based in the South Park church.

Another view of the 2nd Greenock in the South Park church, and pictured standing behind the boys is Captain Mungo Brooks. These pictures were taken by Simpson Photographers and were taken from a South Park informational brochure printed around 1967.
Further items from this brochure can be found in the "church" Section of The Team.

A view of the Company section as it was a few year ago, with some still familiar faces hidden in the ranks.

One of our serving officers, on the right, as he was in the early eighties as a Corporal in the 5th Greenock. This one was taken at the Arts Guild for the Centenary show. The young man on the left, was also a serving officer in the 3rd back in the late eighties.

The very same officer hiding in the 5th Paisley Junior section in 1974.
Check out the guy in the front row, 5 places in from the right of the picture.

Battalion Vice President Wm Dempster stands beside Captain Robert Love, no sorry, Sir Alex Ferguson at the naming of a train in honour of William Alexander Smith. Founder of the BB. We of the company will always believe that Sir Alex and Captain Love are twins who were separated at birth.
 

Another view of Sir Alex, this time in mid speech. The photographers name will be added, once I find out who the are.

The Train and it's plaque.
