1 The Selkirk War Memorial, Ettrick Terrace, Selkirk, unveiled in 1922, was designed by architect Sir Robert Stodart Lorimer, KBE (1864-1929), Scottish architect and designer; Selkirk could be argued to be ‘punching above its weight’ commissioning Lorimer, whose war memorials include the three great Royal Naval monuments to the missing at Plymouth, Chatham and Portsmouth as well as the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s Doiran Memorial to the dead and missing of the British Salonika Force in Macedonia and Serbia
