Bradwell is a village in the Peak District of Derbyshire. We passed through it on our way to Castleton.

On the way back I stopped to photograph its War Memorial, a Celtic style cross on a stepped tapering square plinth. This face bears the dedication and names for the Great War:-

The dedication includes the villages of Aston, Thornhill, Brough and Shatton along with the names of men who died. There is an additional cartouche for the Second World War dead:-

The village of Blackness‘s War Memorial lies on a turning on the A 903 down from the main A 904 road into Bo’ness just before the approach to Blackness Castle. Blackness originally served as a port for Linlithgow, when Scottish monarchs used Linlithgow Palace as a main residence.

It’s a square slightly stepped granite pillar on a square base.

Dedication and names. Eight for the Great War, two (below) for World War 2:-

Winchburgh is a village in West Lothian.

Its War Memorial (for Winchburgh and Niddry)  is an unusual one in that it bears a statue of a drummer boy. The statue sits atop a stone cairn on a circular plinth. It seems to have been erected in 2000 (see link above.)

Dedications. The lower plaque contains names indentified later than in the plaque above:-

This one is courtesy of my younger son. Kilchoan is in the Ardnamurchan peninsula. It’s the most westerly village in the UK.

I have never been there. He has though, and knowing my habit for photographing War Memorials kindly took this shot and sent it to me:-

This aspect shows names for the Great War. Names for the Second World War are on the right hand side of the Memorial.

Gateside is a small village in Fife. We pass through it quite often as it on the way between Son of the Rock Acres and our younger son’s house.

Its War Memorial is a Community Hall, opened in 1921 in remembrance of the Great War dead from the village:-

The memorial plaque is on the wall by the entrance door:-

This web page has a photograph of the names of the Gateside dead from both wars on two plaques on an internal wall.

The Hauntings is a sculpture of a soldier, made from scrap metal. From 1/7/23 to 12/11/23 it was in the grounds of The Black Watch Museum in Perth but has since moved on. (The museum, housed in Balhousie Castle is a regular haunt of ours as it has a very good café.)

The sculpture was commissioned for the centenary of The Great War and made by metal sculpture specialists, Dorset Forge and Fabrication, “a combination of the talents of blacksmith Chris Hannam and artist Martin Galbavy.”

I noted the jerry can on the soldier’s right hip. Jerry cans were a World War 2 phenomenon. Not that that matters.
