Ken,
Just found out that there is a new memorial in Calderbank.

Taken from the Coatbridge and Airdrie Advertiser of November 20, 2014

"Provost Jim Robertson led the first-ever service at the new Calderbank War Memorial on Remembrance Sunday. The memorial includes recognition of those who also lost their lives in World War II."

We now need a photograph to add here.
