Hello has anyone got a photo of the Aberfeldy War Memorial and list of names?

Thanks in anticipation,

Mark

Hi Mark

I wish you had posted this last week as I was at the Thunder in the Glen Rally in Aviemore and i could have on the way home taken a picture will ask a few friends who may well be travelling that direction if they can take a picture for you.

Hello,

I have an old picture postcard of the memorial. I can send you a copy if you would like. i think you can make out some of the names on it.

Dan & Stewart,

Many thanks for your posts and offers of assistance, always appreciated.

Dan can I defer to you initially. If anyone you know can take a photo of the Memorial and rolls that would be great. If not I'll have to think about making a trip up myself at some point. Cheers again.

regards,

Mark

attached is a photo of the Aberfeldy memorial taken in 1992.

I also have the full lists of names and will send them to you direct.

Cheers.

I hope you don't mind me jumping in on this topic. Aberfeldy Memorial is on the Roll of Honour site, but without a list of names.

Help with transcribing would be great, but if not possible I would appreciate it if you could pm me with the list and I am happy to take on the task. Always looking to avoid the housework :D

I forgot to say that on the Roll of Honour Home page there is a word template available if anyone wants to help with transcribing memorials. Martin Edwards who started the site has done a wonderful job but obviously cannot do everything.

Hello,

Just wanted to respond about the Roll of Honour input.

It looks a fine idea and one I will look at. I had a quick glance but couldn't download the template.

I seem to have loads of enquiry going on at the minute with various things so bear with me.

Thanks for putting forward the idea though.

regards,

Mark

I hope to be visiting Aberfeldy next month. If you still want pictures of the actual name plates, I'll try to get them for you.

Kevin,

Many thanks for your kind offer but I have it now.

Mark

Quite interesting to read how the council estimated the cost at £350 so were not happy when over £1000 was quoted, they suggested building out of rubble and concrete!01-JMB_15_03_2019_12_18_52_0002517403.JPG.319ea022d0697d644bd5ff16b6ed7846.JPG05-JMB_15_03_2019_12_21_04_0002517003.JPG.ce922349a51ec3ca366a545292016b1b.JPG08-JMB_15_03_2019_12_21_36_0002516703.JPG.61714451b2030ecade11da05b90f9f11.JPG15-JMB_15_03_2019_12_21_58_0002516003.JPG.c7f56eef87554d8e53a473a1ef245580.JPG

I don't think the rubble and concrete idea would have stood the test of time as well as the more expensive job has!
