I'm afraid I can't give any more details at the moment for this memorial. I was kindly sent these photos by Gary Wood after I posted a message on the GWDF. I'm afraid I don't have any more photos of the name panels.
The names on the Kirkcaldy and Dysart War Memorials have recently been transcribed and investigated and a book published with their details by the Fife Family History Society. It is The Register of the Fife Fallen in the Great War, vol 1:Kirkcaldy & Dysart Fallen, 1914-1919 I have a copy if anyone wants a name looked up.
I alos found a link to the Scottish Screen Archive which has a film on the unveiling of the memorial:

I've added this to the thread as it appears that the Museum and Art Gallery building was part of the overall scheme for the Great War.

Hi all,
I posted a reply in the Kirkcaldy WW2 posting that gives a little info on the gifting of the memorial. Hope it adds something to a tremendous memorial which I think a lot of locals take for granted. It's superb.
regards
Clark |

Private Hugh Mackay HLI also appears on Tongue War Memorial in the Highlands. He was a native of Tongue who moved to live in Kirkcaldy prior to World War 1. He was killed in action fighting in Mesopotamia (todays Iraq) _________________ Ali Sutherland |

Thanks to Mrs Aase Goldsmith for these photos, which give different views of the war memorial and show the sun dial which is in the "War Memorial" gardens.
