This memorial is now located in what is now known as Partick Trinity Church, which is located at the corner of Lawrence Street and Elie Street, Glasgow.

Thanks to Rev. Stuart Smith for allowing us access.

The memorial was originally unveiled in 1922.

Sculpture by Charles d'Orville Pilkington Jackson

The photos don't really do this memorial justice. I really like the detail on this plaque.

Detail of the names:

That is a cracking church memorial. Lots of detail and nice to see sailors and nurses get a mention. Interesting to see the theatres getting listed too. Not something you often see on church memorials.

Thanks
