Major General Wauchope is also commemorated on another five memorials apart from this one in York. The Wauchope Memorial in Kirk Yetholm, the Wauchope Memorial Window, Liberton Kirk and the Wauchope Memorial Window, St Giles High Kirk both in Edinburgh. He is also listed on the Black Watch Boer War Memorials in Perth and Edinburgh
