Melrose
The Melrose War Memorial is situated on a small open
green that rises in front of Melrose Parish Kirk, and over looks the peaceful view to the
Eildon Hills. The kirk is to be found on the main road about half a mile to the west of
the town centre and overlooks the world famous Melrose Greenyards rugby ground.
Memorial Inscriptions
All the inscriptions in this section show the First
World War inscriptions as the large panel, with the Second World War inscriptions below on
