Alleged 'racist' memorial window with Gourock crest to be removed

17th May 2023

PLANS to remove a memorial window following concerns about a perceived 'racist' crest on its glass have been approved despite attracting more than a dozen objections.

Inverclyde Council have signed off on proposals to remove the Dardanelles Memorial Window from the Watt Institution.

The stained glass artwork was commissioned to commemorate the stories of local people who gave their lives after being dispatched to the Dardanelles strait at Gallipoli and those back home who supported them.
