UKNIWM Ref no. 44544 & 44545

Granite block obelisk situated above the A861 to the east of Strontian Village overlooking the loch.

The memorial is very hard to read, difficult to differentaite between a "C" and a "G" in the lettering.

UKNIWM Ref: 44545
From the UKNIWM website, they state that the WW2 memorial is a wooden bench:
"Physical Description
WOODEN BENCH WITH DEDICATORY INSCRIPTION CARVED INTO THE SEAT BACK
CARVED CELTIC KNOTWORK DESIGN FLANKS THE INSCRIPTION"
This must be the remains of the WW2 memorial bench. Names from WW2 are listed on the memorial
