Kilchoman Port Ban war memorial is in the village of Port Charlotte, Isle of Islay. It consists of a roughhewn grey granite tapering square pillar with a small Latin cross on the top. The inscriptions are in the form of painted lead lettering and are located on smooth panels. The memorial is surrounded by metal railings. It commemorates the fallen from the First and Second World Wars.
In 2017 a grant of £1320 was awarded through the Centenary Memorials Restoration Fund. The grant funded project was to remove the defective paint from the lead lettering and the application of new enamel paint. SmartWater was subsequently applied to the metal elements as part of the In Memoriam 2014 project.
