It's not faded if you get to see it in person - the perils of photographing red lettering on brass. I had the same trouble with memorials in St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh. It's not so often that someone manages to link someone from a Boer war memorial though, so well done. \Paul Back to top spoons Trusted Member Joined: 09 Jan 2007 Posts: 1606 Location: St John's Town of Dalry Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2008 9:50 pm    Post subject: Along with all of the memorials in this church, its future is uncertain and it must therefore be considered at risk. This is perhaps a slightly better photo.
