War Memorial to the fallen of Barrhead. The main memorial is for those who fell in the First World War. IN MEMORIAM 1914-1918 Each side panel lists the names of those who died in different areas of conflict: France and Flanders; Turkey and Italy; Asia and Africa; and the Seas and Russia. The two memorials on either side at the back record those who died in the Second World War, 1939-1945. In between, is a wall, currently with just three names on it, which reads: THE CITIZENS OF BARRHEAD RECORD WITH PRIDE AND GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE THE NAMES OF THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FALLEN IN OTHER CONFLICTS SINCE 1945
