Searched but could not find this memorial on the site. If there is one please by all means merge or remove this post.
The 51st Highland Division memorial was unveiled in the spring of 1999, on the occassion of a visit of the 51st Highland Division Pilgrimage Association, to La Roche-en-Ardenne. The first time the Highland veterans officially visited the town, since the war ended. The monument is placed at the entrance of the 'Tranchée du Chalet' . It lists the names of 54 men of the division fallen in the Ardennes fighting of January 1945.
The following link regarding the 51st in "The Battle of the Bulge" might be of interest; http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/battle-specifics/31632-brits-ardennes-44-45-a.html
