The Thistle Archive Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 As we approach Remembrance Day 2021, we pay our respects... In 1914 and 1939, when the nation needed men and women to serve in the country’s armed forces, football players were among those who volunteered. Partick Thistle FC were one of the many clubs whose players and former players became soldiers, sailors and airmen, and not all of them came home. This is a record of those Jagsmen who paid the ultimate price serving their country. They are listed by war & alphabetical order, with a short introduction outlining their club career, and then information on their war service. ... to The Partick Thistle Fallen → 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Fascinating, and sombre. Those men, like their comrades, all deserve to be remembered; none deserved to die before their time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I went to primary school in the 60s in that area, the map of the location was good to see. I recall Woodside Baths, and the steamie in the lane round the corner. Many thanks.

Auld Jag Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Can only second what everybody else has said. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
