ELSIE COUTTS is looking for photographs of the Jewish Girls' Training
Corps during street parades with the Jewish Lads' Brigade.
Mrs Coutts is particularly interested in photographs of the GTS
on parade and with the flags of the Jewish Lads' Brigade pipe Band.
She is planning to make a display for the Glasgow Jewish archives
in Garnethill Synagogue.
It is thought that members of the GTC between 1955 and 1964 would
be most helpful.
Mrs Coutts said: "I still have the two flags with the flag poles,
we proudly held on parades.
"One being a Union Jack and the other the St Andrew's flag with
a brass Star of David on top. The latter has the wording of Glasgow
Jewish GTC.
"I have some data, ie printed GTC certificates, subscription roll
books, however I am in great need of photographs."
Mrs Coutts, formerly Captain Elsie Evans, took over the company
from Zelda Blint.
Before Glasgow's GTC and Jewish Lads' Brigade merged in about
1967, Mrs Coutts was the captain for 10 years.
On many occasions the GTC marched behind the flags held by their
own bearers to Garnethill Synagogue.
Every year for the remembrance parade the GTC would march with
the JLB Pipe Band from Glasgow's South Portland Street Synagogue
to George Square.
They would join together with AJEX and continue to Garnethill
Synagogue for the service.
