He is commemorated as Dan on the Lochgilpead War Memorial, which stands at the junction at the head of the main street, on the sea front overlooking Loch Fyne, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is a square pedestal of unusual design with decorative medallions carved with Celtic designs and battle honours on the four faces at the upper corners. The pedestal stands on a low circular stepped base and is surmounted by a rustic Celtic cross carved in freestone with boss and wheel-head. The commemoration and names of the WWI dead are listed on a bronze panel set into the face of the pedestal.
