About the memorial: Shield shaped brass plaque with incised inscription in black and red painted lettering. Greek cross with splayed ends at the top. Copies of medals and image of Elizabeth I. All surrounded by black chamrock border. The Southwell churches website points out that the wording is curiously garbled and needs rearrangement to understand it, but is replicated here as it stands. The Dundee cemetery referred to is in Natal, not Scotland. The website photo reproduced very poorly and a new versiuon would be welcome.
