About the memorial: WW1 - Nowy Headed bronze plaque with figures on each side. WW2 - Simple bronze plaque with lettering in relief. WW2 plaque below WW1, it is presumed but not proven that this was also from St David's Church, as the current Church is the result of a large number of Church unions. The WW1 plaque (at least) was originally in St David's Viewforth Church until closure and then Viewforth Church (at the junction of Viewforth and Gilmour Place) until closure. The plaques have separate IWM Register entries but are treated as a single memorial by WMO.
