The attached link is to a local web site with some interesting stuff. I'll let them speak for themselves:

When I photograph the Upper and Lower Cabrach War Memorials I will post them individually.

This church is abandoned. There is no memorial, gravestones or plaquess (that I could find).

Unfortunately, the church is locked; the following photographs had to be taken through the window.

Unfortunately, I think that this is the best that I can do.

That's a pretty ggod effort through a window Roxy.

The left hand names are very clear and I reckon we could decipher the right hand ones.

The casualty details are given in full on Neil Sheed's site which Roxy linked to in his original post.

I am aware there is a memorial within the Lower Cabrach Kirk, formerly the Free Kirk. Again, Neil has given these details.
