The War Memorial for Huntly is located at the junction of Gordon St and Torry St in Huntly.
James M Grant has photographed the memorial and names on the memorial, and has provided a transcription of all the names on the Kinnethmont website. However, the photographs of the memorial itself, which is of a rather unique shape, were taken by J M Briscoe, who has kindly allowed this website to use the photos.
184 names of those who lost their lives in the First World War are commemorated on the memorial, together with 14 names from the Second World War.
One soldier who served with the Yorkshire Regiment is commemorated on the Memorial. Although both James M Grant and J M Briscoe have photographed the commemoratative panels, only the photos on the Kinnethmont website show the panel which includes the name of the Yorkshire Regiment soldier.
