Very low light conditions resulted in a shaky image of this damp little scroll. I will transcribe the names of the fallen.

Located in Cranshaws Parish Church.
Note the first 3 casaulties (Lieut Ferguson and the Lieuts Holme) are found also on a civic memorial, a lychgate, in neighbouring Longformacus parish.
There is no civic memorial or plaque in Cranshaws parish.
I include here additional pictures & exterior.
Note how the damp crease that is affecting the roll follows the crack in the wall!!
unfortunately I missed between the halves:
James Fergie Playhaugh Private RFA
+ William Pringle Broombank Private KOSB

I noted at Christmas Eve service this was no longer in place, replaced by art for a 'forest ministry' project. Told today it'll be put back up in porch in due course. |
