Located in front of Elmslie Memorial Church is this marble Celtic cross which has a marble plaque attached which reads:
"THE GLORIOUS DEAD
1914-1918 1939-1945"
It seems that this plaque was added after World War II because there are carved numbers beneath it that may correspond to just the 1914-1918 dates.
Another plate below reads:
""IN MEMORIUM

201 Caymanians in the Trinidad Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve
