Very low light conditions resulted in a shaky image of this damp little scroll. I will transcribe the names of the fallen.

The names marked with red crosses, indicating that they did not survive the war are:

Lt Arthur Douglas Ferguson, Seaforth Highlanders
Lt Alex Chas Holme, 1st Gloucesters
Lt Ronald Henry Paull Holme 2nd KOSB
Pte William Pringle KOSB
Pte Archibald Waldie Black Watch

Located in Cranshaws Parish Church.

Note the first 3 casaulties (Lieut Ferguson and the Lieuts Holme) are found also on a civic memorial, a lychgate, in neighbouring Longformacus parish.

There is no civic memorial or plaque in Cranshaws parish.

I include here additional pictures & exterior.

Note how the damp crease that is affecting the roll follows the crack in the wall!!





unfortunately I missed between the halves:
James Fergie Playhaugh Private RFA
+ William Pringle Broombank Private KOSB
