Spent about 65 0f my soon to be 72 years in Carnoustie area and never noticed a memorial in the local Shanwell cemetery.It is a shoulder high stone with a plaque in remembrance of 7 members of the United Free Church who did not return from the 1914-18 war.Its part of a circular formation of graves close to the entrance.Only saw it last week cant believe I missed it.

This grave was in a cemetery at Arnhem. It is for Sgt Richard Bond, a Flight Engineer.
(Enlarge the picture and you can read the plaque underneath.)
We were told that local school children adopt a grave for a year and help care for it.
