This is on the UKNI.

Location is the cemetery gates just north of the village on the old main rd, now a dead end.

I didn't think the plates would photo well, they are well shaded and you need the right angle of sun, or flash which I didn't have.

So I read the details into a dictaphone and hope I didn't make too many errors. It is easy to get the McLellans and McLennans mixed up.

Must be more careful next time.

Here's the list:

I am afraid I only have photo of 1939-45 plaque.
However, I have a photo of panel in Mallaig Heritage Centre. Thanks to Malcolm Poole for permission to use. The Centre is well worth a visit but remember the panels on display are subject to change.

The memorial takes the form of an archway into the old section of the Morar Cemetery.
The memorial records 17 names from the Great War on a plaque attached to the left pillar and 9 names on a tablet on the right from the Second World War.
Also attached at the rear is a memorial plaque commemorating Charles Lyons, MM & Bar.
