James - the Glenbuck memorial was relocated to the Muirkirk Memorial Gateway. See:
http://warmemscot.s4.bizhat.com/viewtopic.php?t=965&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=muirkirk&start=0
but it probably should have its own thread (this one?)

Could a moderator perhaps copy the photo to here - with a link?
