World War Two / Re: Explosion in Maryhill Barracks, Glasgow sometime during WWll

Thanks Imber, the part on page 17 of the narrative I believe describes the incident I am seeking information about. My father was at the demonstration when the explosion took place and what I can recollect from what my dad said, the soldier in front of my dad was blown back onto my dad which he claimed saved him although the soldier was killed.

I appreciate you letting me know about this paper. Strange that there is so little information about this incident.

Am interested in finding information about an explosion in Maryhill Barracks Glasgow, sometime during WWll, which, I believe, killed a number of men. Sorry I cannot be more specific about when or what it was about, but I think it happened during a demonstration of some type of bomb or explosives.
