In this Book are recorded

IN REVERENT AND UNDYING REMEMBRANCE

THE NAMES OF THE MEN OF LOCHBROOM

WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR KING AND COUNTRY

IN THE EUROPEAN WAR OF 1914 – 1918

And it is dedicated

WITH DEEPEST GRATITUDE AND WARM APPRECIATION

TO THEIR SURVIVING COMRADES, WHO, HAVING SHARED IN THE SAME

HARDSHIPS AND DANGERS AS WERE THE LOT OF THE DEPARTED

HEROES OF LOCHBROOM, HAVE BEEN SPARED TO BENEFIT

THEIR NATIVE LAND STILL FURTHER BY THE HIGH

EXAMPLE OF THEIR LIVES, WHICH HAVE BEEN

ALREADY GLORIOUSLY DISTINGUISHED BY

GALLANT DEEDS IN THE PAST

Note by A. F.

THESE Records of the lives and deaths of the fallen heroes of Lochbroom have been compiled by Edith, wife of Major Fraser, C.M.G., O.B.E., of Leckmelm, Lochbroom, Ross-shire.

IN order to secure accurate information regarding every case, Major and Mrs. Fraser have addressed full enquiries to the surviving relatives, and have visited every home in Lochbroom which has lost a son or brother. (Widely scattered these homes are, along a sea coast of some fifty miles).

To Major and Mrs. Fraser this work has been a labour of love, undertaken in accordance with the spirit of the command addressed to them by H.M. King George V. on the occasion of the expression of his sympathy in the loss (in action) of their son, Captain Andrew Fraser, M.C.: “Let those who come after see to it that their names be not forgotten.”
