UKNIWM Ref: 44411
Located in St Cuthbert’s which is Kirkcudbright Parish Church at OS Map Ref NX 684 510
The description on UKNIWM is incorrect in that it lists this as a WW1 memorial, but on the side is a panel with WW2 names.

This is a very prominent memorial. Anyone going to a service in this church can't fail to notice these names.
