I spent a couple of hours in the Ewart library in Dumfries yesterday and found that a couple of the local papers had been indexed. In one I found a number of entries under war memorials and in the other several under roll of honour. In a few minutes I found references to 4 or 5 memorials that are not recorded on the forum (some church but mostly clubs). As I have already been to all the existing churches in the area and the local museum I fear that all of these new findings are lost memorials. I shall have to go back sometime to make a proper job of identifying and documenting what I can.

The Scotsman Archives online can also be searched in this manner.
