This memorial is some three miles south of Linlithgow on the road over the Bathgate Hills. It sits at the south western corner of Beecraigs Country Park at Grid Ref. NS 988728













The Rolls of Honour are inside the Pavilion.

Thank you for posting these. I've not seen any images of this memorial and it is somewhere I have been wanting to visit.

I know that two KoreanWar rolls of honour have been placed in Edinburgh, one in St Giles High Kirk and one in St Mary's Metropolitan Cathedral. Does anyone konw if others were placed in other Scottish cities?

Regards

Adam

It is listed as at Torphichen. I believe it was recently vandalised.

The Roll of Honour is on 8 large rectangular pieces of ?plastic ?opaque perspex which stand from floor to ceiling inside the memorial hut.

The memorial did not look vandalised to me in Sept 2007. It is a very tranquil spot.

There was an informative piece in the Craigie section of the Courier on Tuesday.
