I have no idea if the church still goes under the same name or is even still standing.

I belive Partick Parish Church was on a site in Church Street which is now Balbir's Restaurant and flats.

I am going to visit Partick Trinity Church( as its now known after several unions) and get photographs of the War Memorials that they have. Not sure when the visit will be but will post photographs asap afterwards.

I have also posted this in the "book" section where mention was made of the memorial.

The service was conducted by the Rev. John Dick, Leven, former minister of the congregation, who preached from the text, "Of whom the world is not worthy"."

I notice that the NLS have a new website for the Post Office Directories. I haven't checked the Glasgow 1912 one but if it is like the others it should have a list of all the churches of all denominations and their locations.

It won't help identify where they are now but it should be a good starting place for finding out what was there during the First World War.

This might be especially useful if they were UF churches and are still used as Church of Scotland churches.

Thanks

Adam

From a rootsweb posting "The Highlanders Institute which is a few minutes' walk from Charing Cross and opposite the eastern gate of Kelvingrove Park is now an Islamic Centre and has been for many years. From memory it shut in the 1970s due to lack of use."

I've had some information that Partick South Church in Dumbarton Road has memorials from at least five other churches, but that the memorials themselves might be buried under the chancel?

Apparently there is a cafe attached to the church which contains photographs of these memorials.

One for further investigation, I think.

According to something I saw from WMT

"Second World War memorial cross in Cardonald Cemetery on Mosspark Boulevard, Glasgow, which commemorates the Cardonald Merchant Marines"

I don't think we have this on the project or on a list anywhere
