James Patrick of the 208th Glasgow Company of the Boys Brigade has been at his home near the River Levem in Pollok when he heard a commotion coming from the river in March 1964.
An appeal has been launched to find a heroic Glaswegian who saved a five year old boy from drowning over half a century ago.
The quick-thinking 11-year-old sprinted from his house before diving into the river to rescue a five-year-old boy who was being swept away by the fast flowing current.

Fortunately for the young child who would have drowned without intervention, James managed to drag him out of the water to a nearby river bank. For his efforts he was awarded The Boys’ Brigade Cross for Heroism in 1965. Appealing on Facebook to find James, the 208th Glasgow Company of The Boys' Brigade wrote: "If anyone knows James, please get in contact with us."Sign up to our daily Glasgow Live newsletter here to receive news and features direct to your inbox
