Eight bells within the spire of the church are dedicated to the memory of men lost in the First World Wall. Above a door in a porch fronting Great Western Road is an inscription reads 'The eight bells in this spire, the gift of a Glasgow Academical, are dedicated to the glory of God and in the memory of the boys of Glasgow and Kelvinside Academies, and of this church, who fell in the Great War, 1914-18'. The church has been converted to a public house but the bells are still in situ and are rung on the 11th November each year.

The war memorial within the church is situated within the entrance lobby at the main western entrance, on the wall facing the doorway. The memorial has been covered up to protect it, and cannot be seen.
