Not listed on UKNIWM
Original and current location is not known. I only know of this memorial from the catalogue of Osborne's who made the memorial.

I hope this memorial still exists in an Inverness Post Office. I couldn't work out the way the names are ordered. It's not alphabetically or in date of death order (see below)
A lot of the names are common to the Highlands but I identified some where they were the only names on the CWGC database. I couldn't make out the name in the top right hand corner R.M.McCheyne ...

The one you couldn't read is R M McCheyne Golian.
I cannot find him on SNWM or CWGC (even with help of Geoff's search engine). Can only find one family named Golian in 1891 census (in Warwickshire) but they are not in the 1901 census.
Perhaps if a post office in-house journal still exists for this period, there might be more info on this memorial.

According to the Post Office Archives web site <postalheritage.org.uk> this memorial is behind the counter in Inverness Post Office. Perhaps someone local could check?
