World War One

Commemorating and recording the impact of the First World War on South Loch Ness In the centenary year of the start of the First World War, the Heritage Group would like to do something to remember, research and record the ways in which the war affected South Loch Ness and those living in the area. Alister Chisholm 01463 715713 alister.chisholm@btinternet.com would be very pleased to have any suggestions as to how such a project could be tackled. Please get in touch with him with any ideas.

As an initial approach we include a list of the fallen of WW1  below. It is hoped to find out as much as possible about them, ie where they lived , parents,  date of death, where commemorated , occupation , whether married , children, descendants and a photograph
