Description
Brass Plaque on wooden backboard. Note that St Matthew's Church was formerly known as the West Church thus this memorial is believed to belong to this church, as opposed to the western part of what is now St John's Kirk, especially as St John's Kirk west and east had been re-united by the time of WW2.
