Kilmarnock War Memorial was officially opened on 21 May 1927. There are now 1070 individuals commemorated on the walls inside this magnificent building.
As we head towards the centenary of the opening next year, a dedicated group have been gathering as much information on every person named as possible and, quite remarkably, have got to the point where they are looking for details on fewer than 30 individuals - these are listed below.
If you have any information on anyone, whether it be service information, interesting stories or employment details then the group would like to hear from you. Please contact David Finlay finlaydavid@sky.com or Frank Spence jfgspence@gmail.com in the first instance. It would be an incredible achievement to complete the picture by next May.
