A Memorial Tablet inscribed with the names of four ministers, a missionary elder and a licentiate who lost their lives during the First World War was erected near the entrance of Church House in 1921.
During renovations to Church House in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, this tablet was lost. The recent anniversary commemorations of the sacrifices of 1914-1918 stirred the Forces Chaplaincy Panel of the Chaplaincy Committee to restore the memory of the tablet as a mark of respect to those honoured in 1921.
This booklet tells the story of the tablet and of the lives of those inscribed.
Although not chaplains, the service and deaths of three Presbyterian students who served in the army are also included in this publication.
