This memorial is a rough hewn Celtic cross of Aberdeen granite, the work of Messrs Alex. Nicol & Co. It was unveiled by Lord Forbes in April 1921.

It can be seen that the text " THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE " has been removed from panel below the WW1 names to allow the four WW2 casualties to be added. These words have been added below on a new section of stonework. _________________ Jim
