We invite you to participate in this act of remembrance by sponsoring a knitted soldier in honour of someone you've lost, whether from past wars or any military action. Your £5.00 sponsorship will enable a soldier to carry a flag inscribed with their name, date of birth, and date of passing. If you don't have the details we will put the year of the campaign.
The money generated will be given to Erskine who gives unrivalled support to Veterans in Scotland. For a truly local connection, we encourage you to explore the remembrance books within the church sanctuary. There is also a link to the books at the bottom of this page. These contain the names of soldiers from this very parish who made the ultimate sacrifice in both World Wars.
You might discover a hero who once lived just a few streets away. Should you choose to sponsor one of these local fallen, their researched details by Seona and her late husband John Maguire will be featured. We plan to unveil this display on Remembrance Sunday November 9th 2025.
