From 'The Scotsman' - Monday, 11th April 1921, page 5

Kinloch Rannoch

Two handsome brasses have been erected in Kinloch Rannoch Parish Church, the first by the congregation and proprietors to the memory of the men of the parish, and the second presented by his widow in memory of the late Rev. Wm. Urquhart, B.D. parish minister, who fell at Mametz in August 1916. A handsome lectern has also been presented by his fellow students and friends.
