About the memorial: The Bible and Psalter were formerly at the United Free Church (now a private residence) but seemed to have been lost. However, the Bible has been recovered and presented to the Meigle Parish Church in 2017 where it now remains. The Psalter has however been lost A contemporary quote reads - "An unusual duty in connection with a memorial service devolved upon Miss Young, who presented to the church a pulpit Bible and a Psalter, purchased out of the funds subscribed for the memorial tablets. Miss Young said she esteemed it a great honour to present the Bible and Psalter to the congregation in memory of the six dear lads who made the supreme sacrifice and whom they all missed so very much from their midst. “These lads gave their lives for us, and died for the cause of freedom. Their bright and brave lives are finished, but we will meet them again when we too reach the further shore”.
