The memorial sits in its garden on the southern edge of Ochiltree on the A76. Park in the village on the hill near the community hall and walk down the path beside the hall - the A76 is busy and the memorial garden sits on a bend.

The First World War names are

and the Second World War ones are

What I like about this memorial is the nice view that you get over Dumfries Estate and the valley of the River Lugar.
