Memorial Paving Stone, Glasgow Green
Posted in War Memorials at 20:23 on 9 June 2015
This stone is inlaid into the paving round the Doulton Fountain outside The People’s Palace, Glasgow Green.
It commemorates Henry May, the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles,) 2/10/1914.
Was this the first WW 1 casualty from Glasgow?
Edited to add (13/6/15):- I’ve just noticed the insignia inscribed on the stone is of a Victoria Cross. I presume therefore that Henry May won that medal hence his commemoration.
