The
memorial is to be found on the A83 between Glasgow and Campbelltown
in Glenbarr, Argyll. The memorial takes the form of a rectangular stone
base with sloping sides surmounted by a plinth, stepped stone shaft
and a stone cross; at the foot of the four corners of the shaft are
four uncut stones representing four sections of the parish, each stone
taken from the four sites. There are dedicatory slate tablets set into
the front face of the plinth and base. The First World War section of
the memorial was first unveiled and dedicated 28 July 1922 and the Second
World War section was unveiled 7 November 1954. The original architect
was Mr Alexander N Paterson ARSA and the builders Messrs Neil Macarthur.
There are 22 names for World War 1 and 8 for World War 2.
