The proposal was strongly opposed by ex-Bailie Anderson on the grounds that a number of proprietors had put the pavements opposite their properties into good order many years ago and the council had then undertaken to maintain them. The unveiling was performed by Sir Archibald Sinclair who said the people of the district were "rightly proud of the part you played at this great crisis of our country's fortunes and you do well to raise up this memorial to the everlasting memory of your unreturning brave".Įlsewhere, by a majority vote, Thurso Town Council adopted a recommendation by the roads committee under which the council would undertake the repair of all foot pavements on the properties of proprietors who provided the necessary materials. "Respectful and appropriate solemnity" marked the unveiling of the war memorial at Latheron, which was dedicated to the 29 men of Forse, Latheron and Latheronwheel who fell in the Great War.Ī big crowd had gathered to witness the ceremony and there was a large representation of the Comrades of the Great War who marched from Latheron Post Office to the memorial.
