I, James Barbour, Goods’ Porter, lately employed at Buchanan
St Goods Station, Glasgow, and having enlisted into the Gordon
Highlanders Regiment and expecting to be shortly upon the Continent
to face the German Army in defence of my Nation and my Liberties,
do hereby formulate my Last will and Testament. … I
will have died a Secularist as I have lived all my life a
Secularist.
… I wish my Executors to dispose of my property contained
in six iron boxes as follows:
First. All my books to become the property
of the Glasgow Branch of the National Secular Society or Glasgow
Secular Society. My books of writing to be examined and if
useful to the cause then they know what to do.
Second. All my clothing to be given to my
brother or half-brother… or his heirs.
Third. My medals and any other article of
historical value to be given to the Corporation of Glasgow
for their Museums.
