Hello all!  I am  looking for information on the Tramways Battalion HLT - Scotland.  My ggfather was Pte John Wallace in said battalion.  Anyone have an info?

Thanks so much

Hi

The Tramway Bn of the HLI was the 15th Battalion made up mostly of tramcar workers as part of the Pals Battalions

the 16th HLI was the Boys Brigade Battalion and the 17th the Commerce Battalion

There was a war plaque dedicated to the 15th in the transport museum at Kelvinside Glasgow but the museum is in the progress of being moved to a new location and presume the memorial will go into the new complex?
