Description

The War Memorial in Drymen, designed by Bell and Harvey Architects in 1922, features a tall granite cross set on a coursed rockfaced stone base or pedestal. The base has a stepped circular plan and is topped by a square-plan pedestal. Two granite plaques are affixed to two sides of the pedestal. One plaque honors "the men of this parish who...passed out of the sight of men ... giving up their own lives that others might live in freedom" and is titled "The Great War 1914-1919." The other plaque lists the names of these men. A later addition is a granite plaque inscribed with the names of those who gave their lives in the 1939-1945 World War, placed beneath the first plaque. The pedestal is capped with granite coping and features a sculpted granite cross, which resembles a Celtic cross but lacks the linking circlet.
