Bo'ness - Falkirk District
The Bo'ness war memorial is a tall grey granite cenotaph with a bronze downturned sword, wreath and burgh coat-of-arms on the face of the obelisk, and the various theatres of war carved onto the faces of the base. The commemoration and names of the dead are listed on bronze panels set into the face of the pedestal.
The monument stands by the roadside at the junction of Stewart Avenue and Church Wynd, overlooking the Firth of Forth.

Some updates photos.
Unfortunately, it isn't possible to get a full view of the front of this memorial because of it's position at the top of a steep slope.
