I learned only recently that my father, JOHN LEWIS, a wounded veteran, unveiled a memorial in PORT GLASGOW in September 1921. All I have is a poem http://tinyurl.com/325fuh published in "The Port Glasgow Express" which speaks of "29 lads who left the Toll Corner, all of whom lost their lives". Maybe Dad enlisted with them; he certainly lived in Glasgow and was a shipyard platelayer when he joined the Territorials in 1914.
Has anyone heard of this memorial? Or can tell me where The Toll Corner was?

I'm glad to say that Mary has got some information on this memorial and has posted in in the Renfrewshire Section. It's here:
