A friend of mine Fraser Mitchell has been able to inform me of the war memorial inside ALL SAINTS SCOTTISH EPISCOPAL CHURCH, in West Street , STRICHEN , Aberdeenshire
The memorial is a tablet memorial on the church wall for 1914-1919 :
viz
"This Tablet is erected in grateful Memory of the Men of this Congregation who Laid down Their Lives for King and Country in the Great War 1914 -1919
WILLIAM BURNETT - ARTHUR BARRON PARK
ALEXANDER REID CAMPBELL - JOHN RETTIE PARK
JOHN EWEN - WILLIAM PURVIS
ALFRED MURISON - ALEXANDER STEPHEN
"Their name liveth for evermore
(Patrick w Anderson )
