There are a few gaps marked with a '?'. I will update this list when I find out more information. I will also update it if anyone posts memorials not on the list so we can hopefully create a definitive list of overseas memorials. I have updated the list with the information provided in other posts, and links to them, and have made it a bit more readable Last updated 18th March 2010 Afghanistan Road between Kabul and Bagram, Dundas Memorial Bridge.

I'll have a look tonight to see if there's any more Boer War memorials to Scottish units in South Africa.

I have taken steps to (hopefully) get a photograph of the memorial, meanwhile could you add this to the list please? \Paul Back to top DerekR Moderator Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 3012 Location: Hawick, Scotland Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2007 4:34 pm    Post subject: These men were from the 6th Bn. KOSB, a number of them from Hawick and Newcastleton. I'd be really interested in seeing this memorial which until today, I had no prior knowledge of. _________________ Time but th' impression stronger makes, As streams their channels deeper wear.

Well done for finding out about this one spoons. The Theydon Bois village website mentions the incident. 1940 - Parachute Mine explodes on The Plain demolishing "The Retreats". And an article in a recent parish magazine gives a little more information.

See page 7: http://www.theydon.org.uk/Downloads/07%20June%20V%20News.pdf Regards Adam That's where I got the info from, I was prompted to look after finding a gravestone in Borgue churchyard mentioning that the KOSB soldier was killed in Epping. As I was attached to KOSB for nearly 3 years in the early 70s and I know the roads around Epping and Theydon Bois from cycling around them as a child, you can understand my interest! I have mailed the Parish clerk to beg for the photo, but if that does not come off I will try and impose on my brother to take a trip out there. \Paul Last edited by spoons on Thu Dec 06, 2007 10:37 pm; edited 1 time in total Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         The Scottish Military Research Group -
