There are many memorials on the island to the men and women who died in both World War I and World War II.  This one, which was in Rothesay Public School of High Street, was unveiled on the 11 April 1957 by Lady Bute, the wife of the 6^th Marquis of Bute at an evening reception attended by invited guests.  It combines a simple memorial to the dead of both world wars, though not named, as well as an additional plaque listing the previous headmasters of the school from the 17^th to the 20^th century.  As with the memorial in Rothesay Academy it was the Former Pupils’ Association who raised the money to pay for the plaque.  The memorial can now be seen in the entrance hall  of the Joint Campus.
