The Botriphnie Parish War Memorial is now located at the entrance to the kirk and cemetery but from the time of its erection in 19?? until 19?? it stood by the Village Hall at the junction of the B1094 Keith/Dufftown main road and the B????.

The Village Hall has two Roll of Honour plaques recording those who served in the armed forces during the two World Wars. The names recorded on them are as shown below. We would like to obtain information and photographs of each of them and would be grateful for any contributions.
