  • PERTHSHIRE ADVERTISER: 20.10.1920 ERROL DEDICATION OF WAR MEMORIAL An impressive service was conducted in the Parish Church last Sunday forenoon, when a large and chaste memorial tablet, with the names of over 50 officers, N.C.O.'s, and men of the village and parish who fell in the Great War of 1914-18, was unveiled and dedicated. The service was a joint one with the members of the U.F. Church, and a large and representative gathering from both churches assembled to do homage to the memory of the fallen. The service was conducted by the Rev. J.A. McLymont D.D. V.D., C.B.E., while the memorial was unveiled by Sir William Robertson, Lord Lieutenant of Fife. The Rev. MacLaren also took part, and Mr A.M. Small presided at the organ. The music was appropriate to the occasion, the lament "The Flowers o' the Forest" played on the organ being particularly impressive. The "Last Post" was sounded by Cpl. Kelly, Black Watch, from Perth Barracks. In the evening a joint service was conducted in the U.F. Church, the preacher being the Rev. J.A. McLymont.
