The photo below is of the Glasgow Anarchist Group from 1915. The photo is known to lots of anarchists but we are all stumped as to who they all are. We have some info but haven't had it properly verified and would dearly love to know who these people were. Though it is dated the 1st January there is not a glass on the table, all cups, saucers and cakes, love and cakes, the essential of any anarchist society. Does that tell us something about the group?
The info we have at the moment is;
1. Molly Loyd, she married the guy to her left No 2.
2. Charles McPherson, lived in Harmony Row, Govan, worked in Fairfield Shipyard.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7. Willie MacDougal, we know a good bit about him, see; HERE.
As for the rest we would love to receive any info on any of them, no matter how small the detail it could help to lead us to further info. Any further info on Molly and/or Charles would also be very gratefully received.
12 and 13 look about.... 12 and 13.
ReplyDeleteThe Weegies started their anarchists young, eh?
CR.
Yea, those two have set me puzzling, but we do have second generation anarchists in Glasgow, so who knows. also at that time there were lots of Glaswegians who looked younger because small stature resulting from poor diet. I'll keep an open mind on that one.
