The Scotsman of 11th October 1920 reports that the London Road United Free Church memorial was unveiled.

This church became the London Road Church in 1929 and has not merged with any other churches since then.

The problem is the Scotsman reported it was a brass memorial with 59 names (out of 411 who served). This memorial is not brass and has 56 names.

There are no other memorials in the church and it has not merged with another church so I think we have to assume The Scotsman is wrong. I think I'll have to check what local papers have to say about it.
