 |
|
The sole purpose of this memorial was to remember the Scottish involvement in the Great War on every level: from the individual up to divisional level.
It was unveiled in August 2007 on the Frezenberg Ridge near the areas where the 9th, 15th and 51st Scottish Divisions fought during the Passchendaele battles of 1917.

The Scottish memorial was erected by the inspiration of Erwin Ureel who "had a dream" in 2004.
"I would like to see a classic stone Celtic Cross, about 2 meters in height, with the inscription "Scotland" or "Alba" raised somewhere in Zonnebeke (Frezenberg for example). If possible there should be added a text in Flemish/Dutch, English and Gaelic to explain in brief why the monument is there."
