Greenlaw is a village in the Scottish Borders just north of Coldstream on the A 697 to Edinburgh. The simple and dignified war memorial is set by the roadside in front of the quite imposing Town Hall.

The Great War names are on the main plaque, World War 2 names are below. If you look closely you can see the wording “The Great Wars” has economically had the “s” added at some point; presumably along with the second plaque.
