Here is his another memorial to him on the family headstone in Dean (Western) Cemetery, Edinburgh
A closer shot of the inscriptions:
And a close up of the plaque that looks out of place.
Given Capt Salvesen doesn't have a plaque in St Giles I wonder if this red plaque was originally erected in India in the garrison church of the 82nd Punjabis and moved to Edinburgh Post-1947?
Here is the SNWM details for Capt Salvesen:
Surname SALVESEN
Firstname Frederick Malcolm Ross
Date Death 22/12/1919
Other 82nd Punjabis.
SNWM roll THE INDIAN ARMY.
Rank Capt
Theatre of death India.
Unfortunately the CWGC was down when I posted this and Lt Salvesen doesn't appear on the SNWM database although another two Salveson officers do appear, one killed at Gretna in 1915.
