|

Going through the list of names on Glasgow Academy War Memorial I have come to Hew McCowan. He also attended Cargilfield Prep and Fettes College before going on the Christ Church, Oxford. On the Christ Church list of fallen alumni there is a short biography about Lt Cowan who was killed at Gallipoli.
It states, "As a memorial to her elder son, Lady McCowan established a club for working girls in Maryhill, the name of the institution being the Hew McCowan Club." Has anyone heard of this: an internet search reveals nothing except a reference to a club with a similar name with connection to the Kray brothers! |
