This project is made possible thanks to the grant awarded to the Bo'ness Town Trust Association by the Heritage Fund.
The research team consists of Richard Hannah Robert Jardine and Alan Gow. Feel free to contact us if you have information, stories, medals or photos of any of the men from World War 1 commemorated on the Bo'ness War Memorial, or who are not named and have a connection to Bo'ness.
