No names listed; Second World War. Wooden plaque with carved gold inscription. An emblem of a crown in gold, white, red and blue is affixed to the plaque, above the inscription. The plaque was erected in memory of those men who served on HMS Valkyrie, a shore based establishment on Loch Promenade during 1939 - 1945 and attended Loch Parade Church during their time serving on HMS Valkyrie. The memorial was originally situated in the old Loch Parade Church. When the church was demolished and replaced by the new Loch Parade Church, the plaque was relocated in 1972. Note regarding other memorials in Loch Parade Church: Prior to 1972 there were two Methodist Churches in lower Douglas; Loch Parade and Victoria Street. Due to dwindling congregations it was decided to demolish both, sell the Victoria site and build a purpose built one on the Loch Parade site. On the demolition of the churches, several memorials were saved and finding a place for them proved difficult. Victoria Street minister and congregation would not agree to have their plaque displayed in Loch Parade. After much deliberation it was sadly decided that neither memorial should go on display. After much discussion it was decided that both memorials would be incorporated in the foundations of the new Loch Parade, and so they were, in their undamaged form and with a certain amount of care.
