This time last year a very clever chap with an interest in war memorials had a brain wave and set up the Scottish War Memorial Discussion Forum.

Our first post was on Thu Dec 14, 2006 12:25 pm by our founder and the man we can thank for al this, David McNay.

One year on we're now the Scottish War Memorial Project with a snazzy logo, over 2,000 Scottish memorials posted, and an online resource of over seventy five percent of Scotland's civic war memorials.

Will that figure be 100% by our second birthday? I hope so.

Cheers

Adam

Ah, those far-off days...

Say what you like about this being my idea, it's you guys who have made this forum the success it is.

Here's hoping for more successes in our second year!

Have a slice of cake on me...

Thanks to David's 'vision' I doubt if this project would ever have seen the light of day.
However due to the hardwork of members it has been a great success, and here's to even more.
For me it has not only been about the memorials themselves. I have learned a great deal about local history, visited places I may not have otherwise and spent some great days out and met many interesting people.
Many happy returns to all those on the Scottish War Memorials Project.

That's the forum to a 'T' Anne. An online community of like-minded folk freely sharing what they've researched.

Long may it continue Very Happy
