About the memorial: Nowy-headed marble backboard with bronze plaque at the top of which is the Glasgow device. Lettering in relief. Formerly located in Parkhead Bus depot with other WW1 memorials representing tram depots around the city. The war memorial at Dennistoun tram depot commemorates the employees who died in the First World War. Most of the men listed served in the Highland Light Infantry, and the HLI 15th Battalion was also known as the Tramways Battalion because so many men from Glasgow Corporation Tramways enlisted in it. This memorial was moved to the Parkhead bus depot when Dennistoun closed.
