I cannot find any info about the raising or unveiling of either of the two memorials in Dalry (St John's Town of Dalry). Can anyone help?

Also, who is Alex Fordyce? No other information on him and any Alexander Fordyce I look up (including one in De Ruvigny) appear to have no connection with Dalry.

We have a John McDougall, Ayrshire Yeomanry - I have a suspicion that I have the man, but I think he was injured only and did not die in the war.

Finally, Alexander Neilson, Canadians. Is this the same Neilson/Nelson as on the Dalbeattie memorial? If so, what is his connection with Dalry?

I know you guys (and gals) love a puzzle Very Happy
