EDM 189: Albion Motors First World War memorial rededication

That this House notes that the rededication of the Albion Motors War Memorial was held on Wednesday 25th September 2024 at Scotstoun Sports Campus; recognises that this Memorial honours the 47 former employees of the Scotstoun based company killed in the First World War, a number of third generation relatives of whom attended the rededication ceremony; understands that the bronze Memorial plaque was originally unveiled in 1920 by the company at its main office door, where it remained in place until 1977 when the building underwent redevelopment, at which time it was removed and put in storage; thanks the Biggar Albion Foundation for looking after the Memorial in recent years; welcomes the decision of Glasgow Life to allow the plaque to be displayed at the Scotstoun Sports Campus, a short distance from the site of the former Albion factory in South Street, Scotstoun; further thanks the Albion Club for their work in helping to secure the relocation and rededication of the Memorial, and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission for their support with this; and further recognises that in its new location the Memorial provides a place to pay respect to the great sacrifice of those men who fell during the Great War.
