On Sunday afternoon there was a large congregation in Campsie Parish Church when the congregational war memorial was unveiled and dedicated. Kirkintilloch Pipe Band headed the procession of ex-service men and others to the Church, where the service was conducted by Rev. A. W. Finlayson. The choral service was very appropriate, opening with the 23rd Psalm, followed by the hymns, "For Ever with the Lord," “For all the Saints who from their Labours Rest,� “God of our Fathers known of old,� and the National anthem. The first two hymns were interspersed by the anthem "What are these that are Arrayed in White Robes’* sung by the choir. Rev. A. W. Finlayson took his text from the well-known words in John's Gospel, xv., 13, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his for his friends.� Jesus Christ laid down His life for the good of all mankind. The men of this church who went forth to war, of whom knew nothing owing to not having been appointed till after the fighting was over, nobly died for their King and Country and friends; they died to give us freedom. Their sacrifice will have been in vain should we fail, God forbid, to rally round the banner of The Master by leading noble and unselfish lives, making self of secondary importance, living for the good of humanity, and show by acts that the sacrifice of the noble dead has not been in vain. Miss King, Antermony House, unveiled the memorial, and Sir George Stirling, D.S.O., Bart, of Glorat, read the names of the fallen as follows:— (names) After the prayer of dedicatfon by Rev. A. W. Finalyson, "The Last Post" was sounded, and the Recessional hymn "God of our Fathers known of old" was sung. The service was a very impressive one. The memorial is a brass tablet set into one of the walls the vestibule and has a dark marble surround. Ex-service men, Boy Scouts, and Girl Guides who marched from the Drill Hall headed by the Kirkintilloch and Lenzie Pipe Band, were provided with seats in the front area of the church.
