From what I can see we don't have these memorials on the forum unless they are known as something else.
Carsebarracks (July 1920) - probably Lunanhead - see below
Fern ( October 1919 )
Invereighty (May 1920)
Kettins ( August 1920) - On forum, see below
Kilry ( January 1920)
Letham ( May 1921 ) - Dunnichen parish, see below
Regards
Adam

Letham is within the Parish of Dunnichen ( Unveiled september 1920)
There is a memorial at Lunanhead kirk which might be recorded as Carsebarracks. _________________ Jim

Ken and Jim
Many thanks for the updates, I have edited the first post with comments.
Interesting that Dunnichen was unveiled in 1920 but it looks like another community within the Parish unveiled their own in 1921.
I've found this on the RCAHMS site:
Letham, Park Road, Dempster Park, War Memorial
NGR NO 53000 49112
Council ANGUS
Parish DUNNICHEN
Former Region TAYSIDE
Former District ANGUS
Former County ANGUS |

If the one in Letham is Dunnichen Parish from May 1921, then the one listed as Dunnichen from September 1920 may be for Dunnichen community rather than parish. Perhaps it is the church memorial we have listed?
