your welcome
pardon my shameless plug, I am a Volunteer Guide/Researcher at The Govan Stones/Govan Old Parish Church we normally close for the winter at Halloween, this year we are only having a limited season from the end of Sept to the end of November, Fridays and Saturdays
there is a family grave in the graveyard that memorializes a son who died in WWI, when I googled him I found an obituary complete with photo, that really brought the story alive
also remember that Govan Parish crossed the river and included Partick and Hillhead, which explains why old school buildings have Govan Parish School Board carved in big letters
of the names on the WWI plaque, I have found some info on about half of them
