Thomas J. Clapperton was born in Galashiels on 14th October 1879 and studied at Edinburgh College of Art before moving south.
As far as I know he was responisble for the following Great War monuments:
Minto, Canonbie, Selkirk, Earlston, Galashiels, Shenley (Hertfordshire), Oamaru (North Otago, New Zealand)
He was also responsible for the following:
Flodden Memorial - Selkirk
Mungo Park Memorial - Selkirk
Robert the Bruce - Edinburgh Castle Entrance
Jimmy Guthrie Memorial -Hawick
Newburn Memorial - Church of St. John Lee, Hexham
World War II Memorial - Wakefield Cathedral
Canonbie United Parish Church Roll of Honour
Can anyone add to the list?

Do you have any images of Clapperton's Mungo Park memorial in Selkirk? I remember it being quite impressive.

Here you go Adam,
And my Clapperton favourite below - its a subject which could easily come across as patronising these days but there's a humanity in this face that you don't often see in sculpture.

Thanks to someone called 'Tails' in Oamaru, New Zealand for close-ups of Clapperton's sculpture for their War Memorial obelisk
