RUTHERGLEN WAR MEMORIAL

The main memorial, The Cenotaph, was constructed in the 1920's and stands at the west end of Rutherglen Main Street. A further memorial stands in Rutherglen cemetery. Although the Sword of Remembrance memorial at the entrance to Rutherglen Cemetery, again constructed in the early 1920's, contains an inscription it contains no names unlike the Cenotaph. This Cemetery contains approximately 100 war graves and memorials. The names on the memorial are arranged within contingent and regiment. The section for World War 2 is at the base but sadly the photograph is not good enough to transcribe from. The names transcribed have been sorted into alphabetical order for ease of reading.

The cemetery memorial inscription, contained mainly on three faces of the memorial.

THIS CROSS OF SACRIFICE IS ONE IN DESIGN
AND INTENTION WITH THOSE WHICH HAVE
BEEN SET UP IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM AND
OTHER PLACES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD
WHERE OUR DEAD OF THE
GREAT WAR ARE LAID TO REST

THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE
