He is remembered on the Torphichen & Westfield - West Lothian
The Torphichen & Westfield WWI memorial takes the form of a pink granite memorial tablet with pointed arch and a small bronze relief of winged victory flanked by Scottish thistles and a Celtic knotwork pattern border carved in relief. The commemoration and names of the dead are in black lead lettering.
The memorial is very similar to the Eaglesham war memorial in Renfrewshire and is presumably the work of the same mason.
The WWII memorial is a simpler polished pink granite memorial tablet with a round arch.
The tablets are set into the exterior wall in Torphichen Churchyard, Bowyett Road.
