Erected by the Officers, Non-commissioned Officers and Men
of the King's Own Scottish Borderers.
In Memory of their comrade
COLOUR SERGEANT GEORGE TICKLE ARMSTRONG
who was Born 9th July 1870, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
and fell in action at Karree Siding, South Africa 29th March 1900,
while carrying a wounded comrade out of the firing line.
He served in Egypt in 1888, in the Relief of Chitral 1895,
and at the storming of the Malakand Pass;
also in the Tirah Campaign, where for his heroic and brave actions
he was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal.
He died deeply regretted by all his comrades.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
