Description
Unveiling the Memorial to those lost in World War I, Pittenweem, 20.11.1921 On the following day, the Dundee Courier reported: PITTENWEEM'S GLORIOUS FIFTY-THREE. SIR RALPH ANSTRUTHER UNVEILS CELTIC CROSS. To the memory of the fifty-three men of the parish of Pittenweem who made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War there has been erected a handsome Celtic cross of Craigleith stone on a commanding site to the left of the entrance gate leading into the cemetery and Parish Church. Features of the memorial are the laurel wreath in bronze and the beautifully carved traceried panels in the centre, and the broad base tablet, on which the names of the brave lads are inscribed. Before the unveiling the memorial by Sir Ralph Anstruther Bart., of Balcaskie, convener of Fife, who is a Pittenweem parishioner, a special service was held in the Parish Church, at which Rev. J. G. Goodall, parish minister: Rev. D. Fisher, U.F. Church; Rev. W. J. Thomson, Baptist Church: and the Rev. Professor Main. St Andrews University, took part, the latter giving the sermon. At the unveiling and dedication of the memorial Provost Ogilvie presided, and Mr A. C. Macintosh, town clerk, read the names of the fallen. After Sir Ralph had removed the Union Jack from the memorial and spoken in glowing terms of the heroes of the war and the real heritage they had left behind, Professor Main dedicated it. Then followed the singing by the choir the Doxology, the dedicatory prayer by Mr Goodall, a hymn by the school children under Mr D. M. Allison, the Benediction by Rev. M. S. Farmer, John's Episcopal Church, a lament from the bagpipes, and the sounding of the Last Post. It was a touching ceremonial, attended by a huge concourse of people. Many beautiful wreaths were placed at the base of the memorial by sorrowing relatives and the ex-service men.
