When this picture was taken, the stone had only very recently been unveiled. It honours a local (Cardross) man who was a recipient of the Victoria Cross. The stone has been set in the wall just to the right of Image; relative to that picture, it would be at the right-hand edge. The stone has a representation of a Victoria Cross (complete with its inscribed text "For Valour"). Below that is the following inscription: "Lieutenant Reginald Graham Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders 22nd April 1917" For further information about his life, see http://www.helensburgh-heritage.co.uk/index.php?view=article&id=950 (at Helensburgh Heritage).
