This memorial sits between Auchinleck Parish Church and the Boswell Mausoleum on the B7036. It is at Map Ref. NS 552216





One of the panels has two names from the Falkland's War.



The bottom panel reads

Falklands War 1982
Sgt Wallace M M Lawrie
REME
S. Sgt James Prescott C.G.M.
R L Regt

Just bumping this tread up as we still require close-up photos of the name panels.

Missing photos now provided.

I note that the first world war had names by rank and then alphabetically whereas the second world war names are in strict alphabetical order which reflects the changes to society.
