Doune UFC war memorial

[DrElaine]

Does anyone on the forum have access to the WWI memorial in Doune United Free Church? If so, can you please tell me whether Duncan McColl is commemorated on it? Duncan was an ancestor of my husband and was killed in action near Ypres on 2 July 1917 whil serving with 1/6th Black Watch. He is commemorated on the civic memorial in Doune. He was married in the UFC manse in January, so has a connection to that church.

Thanks
Elaine

Elaine.
The UFC has been a house i believe since the late 1800's.
There is a chance you may mean the East Kirk which houses some memorials, but this has now also been sold for conversion to a house.

Thanks to Anne & Kenny

My information that there appears to have been a war memorial in Doune UFC comes from the UK National Index of War Memorials (UKNIWM) database
- see http://www.ukniwm.org.uk/server/show/conMemorial.5805/fromUkniwmSearch/1

I guess it may have been removed/moved when the church was sold off and turned into a private home.

Thanks again for the advice
Elaine
