Hi,

Can somebody tell me where the men who served in WW1 from Leven in Fife would be commemorated? I have spent 20 minutes searching the Fife lists and cannot find any information.

Regards,
Alex

Scoonie Parish War Memorial is in Leven and would cover men from the town;

Many thanks. Another piece of my jigsaw solved, I was looking for Pvt C Clow KIA on 1st July 1916. He was born in Inverkeithing and his mother remarried and moved to Leven. He is indeed commemorated on the memorial.

Regards,
Alex
