Foveran - Gordon District
UKNIWM Ref No. 8582

The Foveran war memorial takes the form of a very fine arched memorial gateway at the entrance to the cemetary in pink granite.

(Sorry, I found the letters C and G to be hard to differentiate on this memorial and there may be some errors below, particularly in transcribing service in the Camerons and Gordons.)
