Montrose - Angus District

The Montrose war memorial is a tall grey granite pedestal standing on three low steps and surmounted by a bronze allegorical figurative sculpture of 'Victory' by the Montrose born sculptor Henry Snell Gamley. The commemoration and names of the WWI dead are on bronze tablet set into the four faces of the pedestal. The three granite steps at the base of the pedestal have been extended into wings at the rear of the monument to form a plinth with two granite panels flanking the memorial bearing the names of the WWII dead. Bronze wreaths are set on the rear face of these panels.
The monument stands in the park next to Hope Paton Bowling Green.
The memorial is unusual in that the consistency in the way in which the names are listed varies considerably. Most men have their christian names listed, some have only initials for no apparent reason (i.e. not lack of space). A couple of the men on the WWI panels have their service listed while the rest have rank only. The WWII names are listed according to year of death but the letter type is difficult with little or no differentiation between the letters C and G, and the abbreviations used for the services and regiments leaving some uncertainties.

The four females who died in 1941 were all victims of a bomb strike on the house they were in at 7 Thomson Terrace. I can only assume it was from bombs meant for the RAF airbase nearby.

Allan Arbuthnott had the sad job of registering his wife 57 year old wife Susan and foster daughter 37 year old Beatrice Finney's deaths, while at the same time his son William Arbuthnott was left to register the loss of his wife 27 year old Jean Arbuthnott and 1 year old daughter Susan M. Arbuthnott.

The last name will be Constable L A Mills, Palestine Police Force. Palestine 1948.

Many British Police oficers, quite a numbr Scottish, are buried in CWGC cemteries in Israel and the ones killed in 1946 and early 1947 can be found in the CWGC registers.

I believe quite a few British Palestinian Policemen were ex Royal Irish Constabulary men who moved from Ireland to Palestine in 1922.

I think I've mentioned this before but it is fascinating to compare some of Jim's 'then' photographs with now. As Delboy's recent pics illustrate there have been names added, landscaping & renovation work done. Some have deteriorated somewhat or had little done to them however.

Mx can stand for aircraft maintenance so perhaps he was a civilian involved in this work?

I've seen civilian war workers listed on other memorials so I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case here. Perhaps an other option might be he worked in a shipyard?

Thanks

They didn't build ships at Montrose but there was an airfield - RAF Montrose on the outskirts of the town, so he probably worked there.
