Details The Peterhead war memorials stand beside the old church on South Road. The World War I memorial is on a site in front of the churchyard. It is a tall rectangular obelisk with an unusual decorated top. The name plaques are near the base of the sides within egg and dart borders, each surmounted by a wreath. Above the wreath on one face is a cross. The obelisk stands on a slightly splayed base on top of a three-step base. It was unveiled 6 August 1922 and handed over to the Town Council on August 6 1923. The World War II memorial forms the gate piers in to the churchyard. They are squat rectangular pillars with the coats-of-arms of the different services and regiments as well as the names. Inside the churchyard is another memorial to the men buried in the churchyard and three other war graves. Full transcription of memorial held in AAS Digital Archive.
