War Memorial

Located in the new Cemetery in Glaisnock Street, the Cumnock War Memorial was unveiled in 1921 to commemorate the 117 men who were killed in World War I. Built of white granite it is a tall smooth column topped by a stylised carved crown and a sphere. The stumpy base is octagonal with bronze plaques set on each side - on which the names are contained. In 1950 a five-panelled granite wall was built to list the names of a further 37 soldiers who died during World War II. Many of the churches erected plaques to commemorate the dead from their own congregations.
