A commemorative bench was installed at the memorial, just in time for remembrance 2018. Note that the plaque dedicates the bench to all who served and not just those who died.

The seat is by David Ogilvie Engineering. There are other examples of this stock type of seat as far away as Kinlochleven and Maryport (Cumbria).
The images of the seat are now added to the WMR record, with the locational view now being the 'Headline' image |
