Hi Caroline - we'd love to get some more images of this memorial, if you'd like to help out with this please email [email protected]
Chris Maclean and Jock Phillips, The sorrow and the pride (1990) pp 104-5 tells us that the animal on the memorial is actually a lion and was the insignia of the Rifle Brigade. The Hutchison family who gave the monument had a son in the Brigade.
Regards, Jamie Mackay
