War grave - John Ernest Polmont
LIEUTENANT J. E. POLMONT. RNVR. H.M.S. “SPARTIATE” 3RD OCTOBER 1942 AGE 34 AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN AND IN THE MORNING WE WILL REMEMBER THEM HMS Spartiate appears to have been a shore-based establishment, responsible for security and safety on the River Clyde. While the headquarters was based in Glasgow, the patrols were based along the river, and this may account for reports which place HMS Spartiate at locations other than Glasgow, including Helensburgh https://www.secretscotland.org.uk/index.php/Secrets/HMSSpartiate.

Memorial to the Ure family of Cairndhu
The inscription on the near side commemorates "John Ure, LL.D., born at Glasgow, 19th July 1824, died at Helensburgh, 1st August 1901", and his wife Isabella Gibb (b. at Glasgow, 10th May 1828; d. at Helensburgh 15th Feb 1915). As noted on the base of the monument, the stone is "the property of John Ure, Cairndhu House and his family".

The far side of the memorial commemorates his son, "the Right Honourable Alexander Ure, P.C., G.B.E., LL.D., Baron Strathclyde of Sandyford, Solicitor General 1905-1909, Lord Advocate 1909-1913, Lord Justice General and Lord President of the Court of Session 1913-1920" (b. 24th Feb 1853, d. 2nd Oct 1928), and Alexander's wife Margaret McDowall Steven (b. 20th Nov 1855, d. 25th June 1940).

Memorial to James Whitelaw Hamilton
"In memory of James Whitelaw Hamilton R.S.A., Helensburgh, born at Glasgow 26 Nov 1860, died 17 Sept 1932" (some sources give the 16th as his date of death). The artist James Whitelaw Hamilton was an associate of the Glasgow Boys, but he himself is not generally seen as being fully a part of that movement. See http://artuk.org/discover/artists/hamilton-james-whitelaw-18601932 (at ArtUK) for a selection of his works. His younger sister Margaret (Maggie) Hamilton was married to the architect Alexander Nisbet Paterson, who was responsible for Helensburgh's Image, and also, in part, for the Image, which is located nearby. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/tagged/architect:Alexander+Nisbet+Paterson for other works. It is worth noting that the couple's daughter Mary Viola Paterson was also an artist. The small bronze detail on the lower part of the memorial represents the badge of the Highland Light Infantry; the accompanying inscription commemorates James' son Arthur Leslie Hamilton, who was killed in action in Mesopotamia in 1918.
