I had originally intended to post this as a civic memorial, but then I realised that all but 2 of the names are on the Eaglesfield Bowling Club civic memorial that is alreadly posted.

Not listed on UKNIWM.

The memorial is inside Kirtle Church at OS Map Ref: NY 237 726

This memorial must be considered to be at risk because the church only has a service every second week and there is talk of it closing altogether.

20 names

All except McLellan and Byers are listed on the Eaglesfield Bowling Club memorial.

Byers should arguably be on the Annan memorial, but is not; and McLellan should be on the Eaglesfield Bowling Club memorial. McLellan’s date of death is recorded on CWGC as 9th November 1918 Crying or Very sad and is buried locally in Middlebie cemetery so not sure how they managed to miss him.

A puzzle about Arnott - how did a Scot end up with a Regiment I have never heard of, serving with the Indian Army and die in Palestine?

A treasure for researchers this one.

I looked him up in CWGC

Name: ARNOTT, ROBERT LOUIS IRVING
Initials: R L I
Nationality: Indian
Rank: Lieutenant
Regiment/Service: Queen Victoria's Own Corps of Guides Infantry (F.F.) (Lumsden's)
Unit Text: 1st Bn. attd 3rd Bn.
Age: 19
Date of Death: 19/09/1918
Additional information: Son of Brigade Surgeon Lt. Col. James Arnott and Isabella Louisa Arnott, of Wyseby, Kirtlebridge, Dumfriesshire.
Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead
Grave/Memorial Reference: Panel 57.
Memorial: JERUSALEM MEMORIAL

According to the CWGC website 150,000 Indians served in Palestine. Queen Victoria's Own Corps of Guides Infantry (F.F.) (Lumsden's) Infantry
are also known by the shortened title of the Guides infantry

Looking up ‘Sons of John Company’ by John Gaylor it looks like the 3rd Bn didn’t serve outside India. 1st and 2nd Bn both served in Palestine though so he was perhaps 3rd Bn attached 1st Bn.

Regards

Adam
