Can anyone tell me the date when WM unveiled please?
I have looked in the Local newspapers and cannot find any date or information regarding this WM.
In paper dated 25/5/1921 the Church Memorial Tablet was unveiled with the same 6 names which are on the WM. All papers checked from May 1921 - Aug 1923 and nothing found. In August 1923 the new village hall opened (where today the Church Memorial is on the wall, moved from church when sold) and in paper dated 15/8/1923 in opening speech reference made that we have the war memorial and now we have the hall; so the WM was unveiled between May 1921-Aug 1923.
My only thoughts are that the Macrae Family paid for the War Memorial, as the Cross on Wm and Cross on the Macrae Family grave the same, many Macrae papers are held at Archive Centre in Dumfries, which I have worked my way thorough - nothing on WM except one bill in 1929 to pay for slab stones around.
I just wonder if anyone could help with dates, prices and who made WM please.
Thanks, Teddy |
