Wilhelmina Kippen, Hospital Nurse, UR 3 Miller St., Crieff died of natural causes on 27th August 1943 at Glasgow. Although on this memorial, she does not qualify as war dead.

PO Drummond was killed with several other WRENS when a Foke Wulf intruder bombed the barracks at HMS Midge. There is a Memorial to this in Norwich Cathedral.

Whilhelmina Kippen is buried in Crieff Cemetery.
