About the memorial: The war memorial stands at the junction of Durie Street and Victoria Road. It is close to Leven Parish Church. The WW1 stone obelisk surmounts a square plinth and two narrower plinths on two-stepped base. This is on a raised stone rectangular base with steps on either side (Contemporary photographs show this did not originally exist, probably a post WW2 addition). The WW2 wall and bronze plaques are located behind but clearly added with the intent to have a single war memorial so they are a combined record on this website. In front of the war memorial there is a paved area with seating.
