In 1949 Mrs S Galbraith from Auchendrane placed a small brass plaque inside the church bearing the names of the three men of the district who died in the 2nd World War. One of those named was her son Brodie who served in the Royal Navy. The plaque is no longer in the church and has been missing since about 1985/86. The names inscribed were. |
