A pleasure to sculpt the drummer boy and delighted with the mason's work. Altogether, very satisfying.

Comments by Jim Marshall on Mon Sep 11 17:05:03 BST 2000

Now this is different and well over due in my mind. I hope other memorial outfits take note & bring the idea of remembering people like these upto the 21st Century. Well Done to the developer & others behind it all. Winchburgh should be proud & I'm sure the families of the named will be too.

Very interesting site. Left Winchburgh in 1953. This is a great tribute to all of them. Some of whom I knew personally.

Wonderful Site, Great idea and presented well. Will look foward to visiting in the future.

Comments by ian johnston on Mon Oct 9 22:38:29 BST 2000

very good site

Comments by Jonathan Moffatt on Sun Oct 15 18:23:38 BST 2000

I think that on completion this will be a marvellous site. I can't I'm afraid help on any of the names as my knowledge is limited to the 2nd Argylls [old 93rd] in Malaya in WW2. I wrote a book about them called MOON OVER MALAYA: A TALE OF ARGYLLS AND MARINES. I guess you're aware of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Debt of Honour site. I will revisit your site to see how it progesses. Good luck!

Comments by Mary Mackie(nee Cannon) on Tue Oct 17 22:26:14 BST 2000

A truly magnificent site that would bring a tear to a glass eye. Well done Nelson & James. IF only the ones gone before could see it,they would be so proud.
