I think there may have been a mistake in the transcription of the WW2 names here. The list provides many more names than appear on the photos. After a quick examination some names from Stewarton (Ayrshire) seem to have appeared. I will start to post the names I have investigated for Strathaven (and the Stewarton overlaps) over the next few days.
