Description

An art Deco style polished granite war memorial, with two stepped-back side blocks which bear the inscriptions of the names, the left for World War I and the right for World War II. The central larger panel is plain, apart from a small decorative panel near the top and the words 'In remembrance' below it. The symmetry shows it is obviously post world war two resulting in (to my mind) a more aesthetically pleasing monument than many originating from before WWII that have the dead of that conflict added later. The war memorial at Inverallochy commemorates the dead from both World War I & II from both Inverallochy and Cairnbulg.
