The Princess Royal is to visit soldiers in the Capital to unveil a new war memorial.
She will
visit The Royal Scots Borderers, 1st Battalion The Royal Regiment of
Scotland (1 SCOTS) on Tuesday to take part in the unveiling and
dedication ceremony. The battalion's spokesperson, Major Norrie McKinnon, said: "The memorial was commissioned to commemorate members of 1 SCOTS killed on operations. There are three names on the memorial: Corporal Johnathan Moore, Lance Corporal Joseph Pool and Private Sean McDonald, who were all killed in Afghanistan.
"The memorial is a modern- design Celtic cross. It has been donated by Stancliffe Stone Limited and the Commanding Officer of 1 SCOTS would like to publicly thank them for their generosity.
