In Search of Willie Patterson | Reid, Fred | Cualann Press | 2002 | This biography of Willie Patterson (born in 1883) is written by his grandson, a professional historian. Willie was called "the black sheep of the family" and the author has tried to unravel the story of his life from his childhood in Glasgow`s Calton to his time in the British Army and his return to the politically-turbulent Clydeside. The story touches on many issues: the harshness of a Glasgow childhood, the brutality of army life, the prevalence of syphilis amongst the soldiers, the breakup of a marriage and the politics of Red Clydeside. | 994 |

Under the Shadow: Letters of Love and War, 1911-17 - The Poignant Testimony and Story of Hugh Wallace Mann and Jessie Reid | Mann, Hugh Wallace; Reid, Jessie; Hetherington, Bríd | Cualann Press | 1999 | This poignant collection of letters is centred on the war-time correspondence between Hugh Wallace Mann and his wife Jessie (née Reid). Both were students at Glasgow University and were married in 1914 on the day he signed up for service in the British Army. He survived the horrors of Loos and Arras but was fatally wounded at Passchendaele in 1917. During his time away, Jessie had been spirited off to the banks of Loch Tay to move her and their child away from the social prejudice so prevalent Glasgow`s middle class. | 995 |
