A copy of the Applecross Roll Of Honour currently hangs within the Heritage Centre, near the old Church at Applecross.
The Roll was subscribed for by children of Applecross School and appears to have been written in March 1916 so it will not be a full or complete list of all those of that area who served (and died).

There is NO war memorial in Applecross (though steps are being taken to change this fact).

Any idea what the a, b & c before some names signifies?
