Peterhead's Roll of Honour
S - Y
 The original published list contained only surname, rank and regiment and in some cases this has made identificaltion difficult.  Extra information exists about many members of the 5th Battalion Gordon Highlanders. Where I have some additional information on other men I have included the reference.  Please contact me for details: carolyn@carolynmorrisey.com
