Crieff Remembers the Great War has been written by the people of Crieff and Strathearn who have contributed to the Crieff Remembers Exhibition held in Crieff during July and August 2017. The story it tells has one constant theme: the dreadfulness of war, and the particular dreadfulness of the First World War- the Great War, the War that was supposed to end all war.

The men and women who are remembered in this book come from both sides of the conflict and from all classes. They have much in common, most strikingly the fact that they are still remembered, often by a generation that never knew them. Sometimes we tell complete stories. Sometimes all we have are intimate snippets of family recollection. In all their variety, the stories in this book make a major contribution to the story of Strathearn and allow us to build a bridge across the huge divide between the centuries.
