About the memorial: Wooden board containing WW1 names, topped with curving headboard with crown atop with wreath and crossed swords and a Latin motto, and footed with WW2 names. The memorial was originally in the old post office in the high street. It was moved to the new post office in Tweedale, 3-5 High Street, Fort William High Street in 1979 but when this closed in 2008 and the counter service was transferred to John Menzies/ W H Smith it was put in a store room at Fort William Delivery Office. It was moved to the West Highland Museum in 2010 after comments in the local press about it not being on display- it is apparently on long term loan to the Museum.
