About the memorial: This is one of Scotland's oldest road races, being run now for more than 70 years-traditionally run on the 3rd Sunday in January. The race commemorates Nigel Barge who was killed in action in Dunkirk during World War II. Nigel was an outstanding officer who trained as a Royal Engineer and was killed at Dunkirk. He came top of his class at Woolwich (“The Shop”) and had helped prepare and map defences around Dunkirk and had assisted in the repairing of small craft to ensure the debarkation of his comrades. He was also a licensed pilot and a keen athlete. Nigel’s father was Kenneth Barge, late of the Bengal Lancers, a member of the committee of Maryhill Harriers. The race has been run every year since 1943. The address given is where the race is run from. He is also commemorated on the Rhu memorial (WMO/141345) and on an individual memorial at Glenalmond College (WMO/268388)
