I did my best with Yetholm, but the low winter sun was shining directly into the lens. I'll perhaps revisit later in the year but at least anyone looking for names can see them.

Notice the 1939-45 panel at the bottom of the cross - letters have been removed in order to fit in the men who died then. The original inscription would have contained the text 'Greater love hath no man....'
