Name Plaque Dedication, 252 Memorial Hall, Markinch

I posted about the new external dedication plaque on the 252 Memorial Hall in Markinch here.

Such was the interest its appearance caused – despite there having been an internal dedication plaque (below) since at least 1993 – that it was thought a new plaque recording the names of the fallen ought to be installed as well.

An external plaque was unveiled there in November 2023 recording that fact:-
