About the memorial: This memorial is a dry-stone enclosure containing a stone slab with an inscription.

The finest of both Scots and English fell at Bannockburn/ The fought again on Flodden Field and also at Culloden/ But when they fell at Waterloo/ At Ypres, Mons, Alamein and D-Day too/ They fought no longer with each other/ But stood together as brother with brother./ They stood united and side by side/ United they fought, united they died/ For their sake let us be far sighted/ and stay together. Stay united./ T.H.O.B.
