Located in the local cemetery, this is one of the most religious looking memorials I've seen.

Very religeous. I don't think I've ever seen another war memorial with the crucifixion on it.

The cross shaft with its tree of life carving is very similar to the red sandstone cross at Shandon near Helensburgh. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same sculptor.
