Description
A Brass Plaque for WW1 and another directly below for WW2 on a combined mottled green backboard. At top centre of the WW1 plaque is a small domed head in which there is a Brass plaque with a figure in relief of St Andrew, and around the edges the words "SAINT ANDREWS UNITED FREE CHURCH"- this is because at the time of WW1 this was a United Free Church but became Church of Scotland after re-unification in 1932.
