More information

ALLOA WAR MEMORIAL stands on a cylindrical pedestal in Bank Street, Alloa, and takes the form of the figure of St Margaret, crowned and robed, standing above a group of three soldiers carved as if half buried in mud. On a wall behind the memorial there is a recess containing inset name panels. The memorial was unveiled 28 September 1924 by Field Marshall The Earl Haig and cost £4, 400 to erect. The sculptor was Mr Charles D'Orville Pilkington Jackson and the architect Sir Robert Lorimer. The memorial is transcribed: PRO PATRIA TO THE IMMORTAL MEMORY AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF THE MEN OF ALLOA WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918 AND THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE WAR OF 1939 – 1945 THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE
