Above: Telegram from the Queen - from an article marking South's 50th Birthday in 1977.Crusaders started in Scotland in October 1927 with the first meeting of Glasgow West Class at 3 Horselethill Road in Kelvinside. Two weeks later on 16th October 1927 Glasgow South Class started in Langside Halls under the leadership of Stephen Cox and Jim Eaton.
In the years that followed Glasgow (South) had 19 elected leaders - among the longest serving were Robert S.Hill, leader from 1935-60 (who was at that very first Crusader meeting in Kelvinside), and Hugh L. Armstrong, leader from 1950-81.
Over the years Glasgow (South) met in a number of places all close to Shawlands Cross. Numbers saw their peak in the inter-war years with around 80 attending.
