24th St. Mary's Dundee Boy Brigade

24th Dundee Parish Church (St. Mary's) Company Boys Brigade

Going y the cap badges, this is a early picture of St. Mary's Parish Boys Brigade?

The date of the picture is unknown at present, but Harry Watson can be seen seated

at the front, second  from the right in his days as a drummer.

Later he joined The Caledonian Pipe Band and was converted. They obviously saw his potential.

Now we move foward a few years.

(In front of Morgan Academy? Dundee)

Back Row: - D. Yule,  C. Hill,  G. Cowie, W. Tadden,  J. Jeffrey

Middle Row: - W. McFie,  A. Elder,  Andy Adamson,  K. Hutchison,  Harry Troup,  H. McLeish

Front Row: - J. Dewar,  S/Sgt. P. Sword,  Instr. George Payne,  Capt. A. McKechnie,  Instr. David Miller,  S/Sgt. G MacQueen,  D. Duncan.

Dundee City Police Cup 1934-35                Braemar Royal Highland Society Shield 1935

Now on to 1950

Above: -  I think we again have George Payne in charge.

To the right of him, do I see David Lyle?  Later to be part of the successful MacKenzie Caledonian drum Corp

Below:  The 24th BB march up to enter the arena at Braemar Gathering. I was still a major contest in these days.

Lastly we have an interesting scene.

Clearly flanked by member of the 24th BB., their Instructor/Pipe Major George Payne meets Lor Provost Fenton in Dundee City Square.

The meeting was to wish the band "a good trip" as hey prepared to travel to Dundees Twin Cityof Orleans in France.
