About the memorial: In May 1949 a War Memorial was proposed by St David's Kirk Session. A special fund was inaugurated and a War Memorial Committee formed. It was decided that, in addition to an engraved oak plaque bearing the names of the fallen, money raised should be used to purchase chimes for the church tower [it not being designed for a traditional bell], as well as a deaf aid system for use at church services. Total cost of the War Memorial was £633, including the plaque costing £95.15.0. It was made by Messrs Thomas W Wilson, Drury Street, Glasgow. In November 1950 [the church's 21st Anniversary year], the equipment was installed and the War Memorial unveiled. The dedication took place on Sunday 12th November 1950.
