A Son of the Rock

Drumoak is a village lying on the A 93 between Peterculter and Banchory, Aberdeenshire. Its War Memorial consists of a bench, pillars and cross. Left hand pillar here inscribed, “1939 – 1945” plus names.

Fronts of pillars inscribed “1914” and “1919” with names for Great War below. The wording on the pillars from side of left-hand pillar round to side of right-hand pillar is, “Their name liveth for evermore. The(y) died for us, Through Sacrifice to Peace, Their lives they gave.” When I photographed it the “y” of “They died for us” was missing:-
