A separate plaque was recently fitted with the name John Ferguson, who was missing from the original list of names.

A further two plaques were added with 44 names from World War Two, plus one name from the Afghanistan Conflict.

The original bronze gates were stolen in 2010 and replaced with the current iron versions. The stonework and plaques were refurbished in 2014.

The gateway leads to an enclosed garden area which contains further memorials, including benches.

The memorial can be found in the centre of the town opposite the parish church on Queen Street, on the apex of Craig Road and Dougall Street.
