nemesis Posted 13 February , 2005 Share Posted 13 February , 2005 This War memorial is at Farnell near Brechin in Scotland. I have in my collection the trio and plaque to Arthur Grewar a soldier in the 8th Battalion ,The Black Watch, named on this memorial ,who was KIA on 26/9/15 aged 19 at the Battle of Loos with many of his comrades including his company commander ,Captain Fergus Bowes-Lyon brother of the late Queen Mother.

nemesis Posted 19 February , 2005 Author Share Posted 19 February , 2005 Malcom ,Interesting stuff! I looked into all the individuals on the Farnell memorial and found details of them all except Norah Martin ( eighth from the top) . I am fairly new to this so is there a reason why I can find her on the Scottish war Memorial, or CWGC site? max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
