Lest we forget

This Friday under lights at Old Anniesland High School of Glasgow host Glasgow Academy in the old schools derby match for Glasgow
Maybe time to pause and reflect on the very same match 100 years ago which was played at historic Hamilton Crescent just two days before Armistice Day
The First World War was in its final hours and the Schools were counting the horrendous cost
By Armistice Day 1918 the combined losses of the the two schools had reached 807 not to mention the hundreds wounded
The Glasgow Academy had prepared for the game by taking on a team from the Royal Engineers

Lest we forget

KO at Old ANNIESLAND tomorrow night is 6.30 pm
