dycer Posted 17 March , 2009 Share Posted 17 March , 2009 Forum Member, kinnethmont, was kind enough to e-mail me photos of the above which I saw as a youth,growing up in the Village. It includes the following stanza. "Sleep lightly Lads Thou art for King's Guard at daybreak With spotless kit. Turn out And take a place of Honour" Does the verse come from a recognised Poem or is it homespun? If you wish to see photos of the Roll,including verse,in situ,it can be viewed at The Scottish Memorial Website.Relevant Section is-Aberdeenshire-Rolls of Honour.
