Memorials
As well as the memorial in Rosebank Cemetery, there is a plaque at Larbert railway station, from where the soldiers originally departed. Two memorials have been erected by the Western Front Association, the first in 1995, just to the south of the scene of the accident and the second near to the site of the disaster was unveiled in September 2010. A memorial to the unknown children was erected at the Western Necropolis in Glasgow in 2011.
Annual remembrance services are held at Rosebank Cemetery attended by the Lord Provost of Edinbrugh, the Royal Scots association and others.
