Not listed on UKNIWM

Location - in private hands in New Abbey (I have details but will not make them public). Previously in the Oddfellows Hall at 18 Main St, New Abbey OS Map Ref nx 963 663

This is a very lucky survivor. The Oddfellows branch ceased to function some time ago and this was kept along with some other mementoes, perhaps without the holder really understanding the significance or importance of it. Even the former minister had not realised that this constituted a war memorial.

The Roll of Honour is unframed and on a fragile sheet of paper but now that the holder (and the former minister) are aware of its significance then hopefully it it will be well preserved but at least we now have a photographic record. There is poor contrast for reading the names but please PM me if you would like a high-res copy.
