Description
Brass Plaque in wooden frame. Note that St Matthew's Church was formerly known as the West Church (originally The West Free Church and, by WW1, the West United Free 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.
