Memorial Plaque located in the Church of the Holy Rude, Stirling.
This is the first time I've seen a memorial mentioning family members.

Do you think these are children?

Hopefully the regimental magazine of the Argylls for this period would provide some
More information on these men. It’s a shame the SNWM does not include information on Scots who died between 1919 and 1939.
We’ve got another man who died in Waziristan in 1937 commemorated at Tomatin He was in the Indian Army.

I suspect we’ve got quite a few plaques in Scotland which came back from India and Pakistan in the years after 1947 this is the first time I’ve seen it confirmed though.

I think it quite likely that they are children. I am sure I saw something similar in a church in England a few years ago where they gave the rank and name of the husband/father as well.
