About the memorial: Wooden Board with the names carved in relief. From the Dumfries and Galloway Standard & Advertiser August 24 1921. TRINITY CHURCH, CASTLE DOUGLAS War Memorial Unveiled At the forenoon service in Trinity U. F. Church, Castle-Douglas, on Sunday, a handsome oak Communion table in memory of the men of the congregation who fell in the war was unveiled by the Rev. J. M. Hunter, M.A., M.C., Kirkcudbright, in the presence of a crowded congregation. The table was designed by Mr. Maxwell Penman, Castle-Douglas and is in keeping with the Gothic architecture of the church. The work was carried out by Messrs Charles Ross & Sons, Glasgow, and the inscription and the names of the fallen are very artistically carved. In the centre panel the inscription reads: "To the glory of God and in honoured memory of the following members of this church who gave their lives in the great war, 1914-1918. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. This memorial is dedicated by the congregation." The two side panels contain the following names: John Carradice, W.R. Dempster, Robert J. Hoey, William M. Kelly, Sydney Kay, Walter Kay, James M'Robert, Benjamin Rae, William Smith, and John Tweedie. This board would appear to be a replacement for the Communion Table, which was probably scrapped in the 1930's following re-unification and consequent rationalisation of church buildings and property
