About the memorial: In 1942 St. Andrew' s Parish Church united with Chalmers Street Church and Queen Anne Street Church to become the Erskine Church. In 1974 it became St. Andrew's Erskine Church. The war memorial plaques commemorating the members of Queen Anne Street Church, Dunfermline who fell in the Great War were moved from St Andrew's Erskine Church in Dunfermline about 20-25 years ago when the congregation moved out and have been held at the new church in Robertson Road since 2004. St Andrew's Church united with Erskine Church in 1974 and at some later date St Andrew’s Erskine amalgamated with Townhill & Kingseat Church to form Dunfermline St Columba’s Church (see link). The memorial is a set of three cast brass plaques of small to medium size with finely detailed and repeating but non-symmetrical floral designs above and below the names on the side plaques, and small floral designs in the corners of the central plaques. The plaques record the names of 22 men who fell in the Great War. The plaques have no perforations through the metal, and no fixings on the back. They are currently displayed in two adjacent presentation cases in a room of memorials at St Columba’s, perhaps a collection of memorials ‘rescued’ over the years as local churches have closed.
