The Scottish War Memorials Project

I have a photo which shows this to be an unusual WM: a tablet attached to a roadside boulder.

Kildonan is a township south of Whiting Bay. A minor rd off the main rd drops dpwn to the coast. Grid ref old 1" OS map is 033 208.

The names on it are
L/Cpl T Sprowle, Argylls; Pte J McBride, J A McDonald and D Cumming, RH (Black Watch?); J Forrest and S Storrie, RSF.

Inscription reads "In lasting memory of those who fell in the Great War 1914-18".

This district is in the parish of Kilmory; there is another WM 9 miles west but these names are not on it: see my post under Sliddery.

A very unusual memorial indeed.

Typo on the first name: it is Sprowle.

Does anyone have a closeup of the names on this memorial?
