jamiemcginlay Posted 18 December , 2004 Share Posted 18 December , 2004 Hi Rob. The following name is listed on the Fortrose war memorial: ROSS DUNCAN I take it this is your man, although Ross is a fairly common name in the area. Unfortunately the memorial only lists the bare names and gives no further details. I will attach a picture. Hope this helps. Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
