Plan to build war memorial to honour Bainsford’s fallen heroes
The memorial will pay tribute to the 100-plus brave sons from the village who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars.
Led by Falkirk North Councillor Robert Bissett, the idea is to locate the memorial in Dawson Park behind its pavilion.

“I anticipate the costs to be around £74,000, a small price when we consider these men gave their lives.
“I will be holding the first meeting of the Bainsford War Memorial in February.
“I intend involving the local schools in Bainsford and Langlees.
