Front line bound - WW1 - Scottish Rifles - James L McCormack
Originally uploaded by reds on tour
James L McCormack on the roof of the Evening Times building, Glasgow, in 1916. He has just joined the army and is being sent to France. He must have wondered if this was the last time he would see Glasgow. He survived the war and went on to become sports editor of the paper. He was my grandfather and started to take me to football matches all around Glasgow when I was seven in the late 1960s. He carried on reporting a football match for the Times after he retired every week until he was eighty. Private album
