About the memorial: Greyfriars Kirk split into two congregations - Old and New - on the 18th century and only reunited in the 1920s. So there are two WW1 Greyfriars memorials, this one being in the lobby at the west end of the kirk. However, the kirk plans to reposition its five WW1 memorials as a group in August 2014. A visit in August 2018 showed that this had not been done.
