Now that we have been running for nearly two years there is a little of bit of forum administration to be done.

For example there are some threads out there where we need photographs. We may not have photographs of the name panels or even of the memorial itself. We may need up to date photographs as well.

Other threads might not have a location, Ordnance Survey reference or a UKNIWM entry.

We will also start adding unveiling details so if they haven’t been posted we’ll list them here.

There will probably be other things needing some attention which I haven’t thought of but will be listed here too.

We will start making up a list here covering all this area’s memorials, civic, church, regimental etc. If we come across something that will need actioned the Mods. can add it to this list. If you see something that needs updated please post in this thread and we can update the list.

I have a series of photos for the memorial at Rankinson, and so will add a posting for it sometime next week.

I had less success in nearby Drongan. But it does seem from their website that a war memorial plaque was erected in the Schaw Kirk in 1993 and I'll contact the minister to get confirmation, and further information.

The Drongan memorial is definately inside Schaw Kirk so you will need to get someone to open up if you want to photograph it.

I am not sure when I might be able to visit but I have written today to the Session Clerk so perhaps they have someone who might be able to photograph the memorial(s) for us.

The minister promised to send me a pic a few weeks ago, and I emailed him again last week to remind him, so between us we should manage to harass these poor folk into helping us!

I was at Maidens today - definately no war memorial (from the postmaster). Nearest memorial is Turnberry only half a mile away or Kirkoswald which is about a mile in the opposite direction.
