Can you help?

In 2016, WMT gave a grant towards this war memorial. As it has been a number of years since the grant was given, we would like an up-to-date condition survey and photographs to be added to this war memorial record. Can you help?

Status: On original site
Type: Freestanding
Location: External
Setting: Roadside
Description: Wheel cross
Materials:
  • Stone Stone (any)
Lettering: Incised
Conflicts:
  • First World War (1914-1918)
  • Second World War (1939-1945)
About the memorial: The memorial was erected in 2006 and unveiled by the Lord Lieutenant of Stirlingshire. It was inspired by the researches of Mr Willie Stevenson, Chair of Cowie War Memorial Research Group, who was inspired by the fact that there was previously no war memorial in the town. It stands at the northeastern end of the main street in a memorial park. It is flanked by a peace memorial in the name of local children, and a memorial to victims of coal-mining accidents unveiled by Tony Benn. The black granite of the memorial is designed to reflect the coal-mining heritage of the community - now long gone.
