His younger brother was Thomas Duncan Rhind, an architect.
[2] His name is particularly connected to several dozen sculptural war memorials in the Edinburgh and Lothian area.
One of these is a monument to the Royal Scots Greys on Princes Street in Edinburgh.
Also of note is the 1919 bronze figure of a fallen officer, telling his men to "carry on", which acts as the school war memorial at Fettes College, a private school in Edinburgh.
[3] William died on 9 July 1933 and was buried with his parents, and Alice Stone, his wife, in the family plot in Warriston Cemetery, Edinburgh.
