William Bowie
Obituary of William Bowie, soldier and businessman; born: 26 February, 1911; died 10 March, 2008, in Glasgow, aged 97.William Bowie, MBE, MC, had been appointed to the executive committee of Erskine Hospital in 1952 and remained a lifelong supporter. His commitment to Erskine, and other ex-service organisations, had been forged during distinguished war service with the First Battalion HLI. Loyalty to family, friends and wartime comrades was a constant thread through Willie Bowie's long and richly fulfilled life.
A strong Christian faith permeated his life and found expression in his role as a church elder at Kelvinside-Hillhead [Church of Scotland] for more than 50 years; in his commitment to the Boys' Brigade within the Glasgow Battalion, of which he was president 1965-72; and as a director of the Bible Institute of Scotland. He was appointed an MBE in 1986.
