Memorial: Barrock Estate, Caithness
Location: Minor road crossroads at Lyth, Caithness
Grid Ref: ND281634
UKNIWM Ref: 5938, 5939, or 5940
Sculptor: Hood, Wick
Count: WWI=19, WWII=4
My (unproven) feeling is that the three memorials on the UKNIWM site should all be this one memorial.

Rob. Gair is on the online Caithness roll of Honour [url=http://www.internet-promotions.co.uk/archives/caithness/roll/rollofma.htm[/ur]
Gair Robert. S/3160. Pte. 8th (Service) Seaforth Hldrs. 44th Bde, 15th (Scottish) Div. Born Bower . Enlisted Dunblane. Killed in action 25/09/15 Hill 70, Loos. Parents; Bower.
He had Bower connections but is not listed on the Bower memorial.
Sergeant John Mowat does not appear on the online Roll of Honour so no clues to his background.

According to "Caithness-And the War" This is
"MILLER, Sergt. WILLIAM, 6th Seaforth Highrs. Aged 32 years. Killed in the crossing of Garigliano River, Italy - January 18, 1944. Mobilised with Territorials and awarded Territorial Efficiency Medal. Served in France, Madagascar, India, Iraq and Sicily before going to Italy. Only son of Mr and Mrs George Miller, Nybster, Auckengill (late of Calder and Sortat, Lyth)
Nybster is near Keiss which would explain why he is also listed on that memorial.
