"Dedicated to the memory of the citizens of Clydebank who lost their lives through enemy action in March 1941." The large stone structure is the original memorial. The bronze memorial plaques are the work of local artist Tom McKendrick, and were added in 2009, on the occasion of the re-dedication (see below). Beneath the roll of names: "This monument is dedicated to those who lost their lives in Clydebank on the 13th and 14th of March 1941 due to the action of enemy bombers. Twenty-two unidentified citizens are interred in this grave. This monument, with the names of those known to have perished, was re-dedicated on 14th March 2009 by Provost Denis Agnew on behalf of West Dunbartonshire Council."
