Archival historyMany Belgian refugees who came under the responsibility of the Burgh of Kirkintilloch were housed in Lennoxtown. This concert was held in the Town Hall, Lennoxtown on 12 February 1915 in aid of a Belgian Home-Going Fund to support the refugees when they were eventually able to return to Belgium. The Chairman of the Fund is listed as WGP Kincaid-Lennox. The concert featured songs and dances, as well as a sketch performed by Lucia, Robrecht and Maurice Van de Vreyde.
