Robert Lorimer carried out a restoration to transform the Kirk into the War Memorial to the dead of Perth and Perthshire following the Great War 1914 – 1918.
In addition to the concept of the whole building being a War Memorial, within the church are a series of individual plaques to specific regiments and groupings.
The Parachute Regiment
The Burma Star Association
The Royal Army Service Corps.
The Black Watch in the Boer War
Members of the Congregation of St. John’s
A shrine to all from Perth and County who fell in the two World Wars.
The Scottish Area Women’s Royal Army Corps Association
The Queen Mother’s window to the Black Watch.
Masonic Brethren who fell in both World Wars. These two brass plaques are surrounded by interesting masonic symbols incised into the surrounding masonry.
