In 2017 a grant offer of £3,230 was made through the Centenary Memorials Restoration Fund. The grant was for works to hand clean and repoint the memorial, repaint the railings and repoint the surround paving.
The figure of the soldier was created by Mr William Birnie Rhind RSA and was unveiled on 26th November 1921.
