The first name on this memorial is Captain Hector Fraser of the SS 'Hirano Maru'. His ship was sunk by UB91 in the Irish Sea in October 1918.

Captain Fraser is not commemorated by CWGC or SNWM.

Sorry GW, not spooky at all! noticed your post on the WGP and wondered if he was on a local war memorial even if he wasn't commemorated by CWGC and SNWM.

I found him on Conon Bridge.
