See also on this site photographs of gravestones and memorials in Greenock Cemetery.

There has been a considerable amount of research on the people named on all the memorials which has been shared with the Inverclyde Great War project but we would be happy to share research and deal with any enquiries regarding those named on the memorials.  Also there is a booklet on the Old West Kirk memorials.  See at:
