Detail from the memorial
- ... that the First World War Kirkcudbright war memorial depicts a sword-wielding warrior with a sleeping child on his knee (pictured)? Look at the picture, but "the massive bronze warrior of the memorial is similarly from an age long before the Great War ... the figure is seated but alert, with a sword in his hand and with a child, safe under his protection, asleep against his knee" from: Boorman, Derek (2005). A Century of Remembrance. Barnsley, South Yorkshire: Pen and Sword. p. 29. ISBN 1844153169.
- ALT1: ... that the Kirkcudbright war memorial (pictured) stands in front of MacLellan's Castle? "the Kircudbright wae memorial is in front of medieval Maclellan's Castle" from: Boorman, Derek (2005). A Century of Remembrance. Barnsley, South Yorkshire: Pen and Sword. p. 29. ISBN 1844153169.
