A memorial in Barrow to the men of two submarines of the Royal Australian Navy, built in Barrow-in-Furness and lost in the Great War.

Submarine AE 1 was lost off Papua New Guinea in September 1914, with all hands.

AE 2 was the first submarine to penetrate the Sea of Marmara in the Dardanelles campaign, where she  was damaged by a Turkish torpedo boat and scuttled by her crew, who were captured. Four died as POWs.

I published my photo of the War Memorial at Fulwell here.

Recently I received a comment on that post from Phil Cockton saying “Look at it now,” so I made a search on the internet.

I found this BBC news page.

I have taken the liberty of copying the photo from it.

In the background of my first photo of Braemar’s War Memorial can be seen another memorial which features an aircraft engine:-

This is from a Vickers Wellington aircraft which crashed near Braemar in poor weather on 19/1/1942. All 8 crewmen died.
The memorial is dedicated to them and to all othe aircrew who died in the Cairngorms:-

Dedication and names:-

Since we were close to Ballater after leaving Corgarff and I had seen its War Memorial on television when the late Queen’s funeral procession passed through the town I thought I should take the chance to photograph it myself.

It’s a granite cross rising from a wall where the names are inscribed, standing in front of the church on Bridge Street. Unfortunately there was a tractor right behind it that day:-

Dedication and names:-

There was what I assumed was a Great War Centenary bench nearby:-

The War Memorial in Dufftown, Moray, is dedicated to the men of Mortlach. A column surmounted by two figures of victory plus a cross, it is situated off Balvennie Street (the A 941 ) in a memorial garden.

Great War Dedication and some names but other names are obscured by the wreaths:-

Great War names W D Alexander – W C Carden.

Great War names:-J Sandison – R Yeats plus C Stuart and F Kerrin:-

Second World War dedication and names:-

We’d bypassed Craigellachie itself on our trip north in 2023, though I did photograph Thomas Telford’s bridge there.

On our way back down last July I actually stopped in the village to photograph its War Memorial which is a tapering pillar on a square plinth with rounded pediment; the whole surmounted by a cross. It’s beside the main A 95 road through Craigellachie village. The pillar seems a tiny bit squint in this view.

A supplementary stone on the ground by the mian memorial is dedicated to Lance Corporal Norman J Duncan, Royal Corps of Transport, 22/2/1989, Northern Ireland:-
