Woodlawn Church location map
The following names are listed on the Roll of Honour, hanging inside the door of Woodlawn Church. This is a tribute to those who once worshipped in Woodlawn Church and served in the First World War. A memorial also hangs on the southern wall in memory of those killed in action. Lord and Lady Ashtown had a stain glass window erected in memory of their son Frederic killed during the Battle of the Somme, 1916.

Comments about this page
Just done some research on some of the names from the 1911 census and the RAF military archives it would appear that the two deceased from the RFC/RAF are:
James Aitken pilot 2nd Lt Royal Flying Corps may have been a son of John Aitken of Woodlawn, steward living in Woodlawn, Presbyterian. Listed in Royal Airforce archives in 49th squadron, missing during low bombing Marne bridges presumed dead 16/07/18.
George Edward Ffrench, pilot 2nd Lt Royal Airforce 27th squadronis listed as a son of the Rector of Kilconnell, Lebel Holbrooke Ffrench, killed while setting out on a bombing raid on the 23rd of May, 2018.
Every best wish for the celebrations in Woodlawn
