Framed Certificate
A framed memorial scroll relating to the death in action of
Private Robert Duncan, of Annan, 7th Cameron Highlanders, during
the First World War.
Both brothers, Privates Robert and James Hume Duncan were killed
in action serving with the 7th Cameron Highlanders. Their memorial
plaques and scrolls were given to Dumfries Museum in 1980.
Soon after the war ended, the British government began
production of individually named memorial plaques to be sent out to
the next of kin - the closest living relative - of every serviceman
and woman who had lost their lives. Bereaved families received them
through the post in a cardboard envelope, with a printed message
from the King. Commemorative scrolls were also sent.
