The grave of the bibles

Six years ago this year, the community of Ness buried nearly five hundred old bibles in the St Peter's Cemetery in the Swainbost machair. The bibles came from the charity shop in Lionel, where it had been decided that the books were unfit for resale. Most of them were very old and falling apart. However, it was decided that the Holy Scriptures deserved a more respectful end than the shredder or the incinerator. Also, many of them were family bibles, that had been in use for generations, and were held to be treasured possessions. They were all placed in a box, and interred in the Old Cemetery. A proper burial service was conducted by the minister at Cross, on 30 June 2006. This memorial plaque was erected over the grave.

Extended information

The previous two posts on this blog result from further research into the WW1 casualties from this island, as displayed on Faces from the Lewis War Memorial. The sources include Ancestry.co.uk, uboat.net, naval-history.net and quite a few others. Information will show a summary of the service record and of any census entries. Where applicable, Hebridean Connections, will be used as well.

I am posting this on a blogsite which is currently hidden from public view; it is a copy of the Faces site, but is rather unnavigable at the moment. Any interesting finds will be posted on Pentland Road, while I work out a way to make it accessible to all.

Not in Roll of Honour

During my recent perusal of personnel records of the Australian Imperial Forces in the First World War, I happened across several servicemen who are not mentioned in Loyal Lewis Roll of Honour 1914-1918. They were:

Archibald Matheson Mccallum was born on 30 August 1896 to Archibald Mccallum and Elizabeth Matheson. Archibald Sr was schoolmaster at Balallan, but moved away from Lewis in 1898. Archibald Jr joined the Australian Imperial Forces in 1915, and served in France until 1917, when he was discharged due to severe thyroid problems. Archibald Jr returned to Australia, where he lived until his death in 1959 (or thereabouts).

Archibald Sr is quoted as having two children (DJ and Christina), but it would appear that Archibald Jr is in fact a third child.

William Arthur Bawden was born on 10 February 1895,  a son of Samuel and Sarah Ann of Cromwell Street, Stornoway. Samuel Bawden was a Coastguard. His son emigrated to Australia, and signed up for the AIF on 3 April 1915 at Rainbow in the state of Victoria. He was a farm labourer, later munitions worker. William saw active service, but developed pneumonia during the autumn of 1917. This left him permanently incapacitated, and he was repatriated to Australia in February 1918. In spite of his poor physical condition, William tried to sign up again in August 1918, but was turned down.

He died on 5 September 1920 at the age of 25, having hanged himself. The magisterial inquiry showed that no indication of his state of mind was evident beforehand. We shall never know what did prompt William to take his own life.

His death was not attributable to his war service, but that does not mean we will forget his valiant contribution.

Murdoch Mackenzie, was the son of John Mackenzie of 36 Eoropie.  Murdoch joined up at Claremont, Tasmania, Australia, on 15 June 1916. He was sent to Europe two months later and saw action with the 15th battalion Australian Imperial Forces. He was wounded in action on 23 August 1918. After peace was declared, he returned to Australia and was discharged, medically unfit, on 23 July 1919.

Murdoch was the brother of Donald and Dugald; the latter was killed in action in 1915.

No 3


This engraved stone caught my eye last Sunday afternoon during a walk through the Newton area of Stornoway. After putting the question on Twitter, I got a reply through the kind intervention of Donald Macsween, from Malcolm Macdonald of the Stornoway Historical Society and local historian Sandy Matheson.

This refers to the Admiralty feus for the houses on Seaview Terrace. These included Caberfeidh Buildings as well as the RNR houses. The feu charters are dated 1888 and included what we knew as the Coast Guard houses as well as 2 and 4 on the corner with Seaview Terrace and Battery Road where Colin Ossian [Colin Macaskill, ADB] and his parents lived as tenants of the Stornoway Trust. These two houses were of a better design and quality than the ones further east and were presumably for senior ranks. They were demolished circa 1969 by Stornoway Town Council and new houses erected on the site. The semi-detached houses on Battery Road where Robin Mackenzie’s family lived and the one north of that occupied by Jimmy? Bruce were also Admiralty Houses but of a later date and subject to me viewing them when the weather is better they too have the Anchor emblem on them.

The Seaview Terrace houses on the left as you leave Newton were built for a combination of HM Coastguard and the Royal Naval Reserve Battery where the Power Station is now. In 1919, on the closure of the RNR Battery the houses all became Coastguard Houses. The two semi-detached houses on Battery Road and the corner site on Seaview Terrace are occupied by more modern Council-style houses.
