Memorial has twin brothers killed 1917 & 1918, the first killed was awarded the MM, but the MM on the memorial is recorded against the other brother,the family grave records the correct information as does CWGC & SDGW. Should this be rectfied on the memorial ?

Which memorial?
I take it the family were happy for it to remain like this at the time so personally I think if it's been like this for nearly ninety years there's no point in getting it changed now.

It is the Stonehouse War Memorial, South Lanarkshire
Should I move to the Stonehouse page to discuss repair/refurbishment ?

Yes, it's a good idea to move it to the Stonehouse topic.
You are lucky it is a South Lanarkshire memorial, the chap in charge of S.Lanarks war memorials is very good.
