Erected in 1922, the Lazaretto Point War Memorial (known colloquially as the Lazaretto Memorial) is located in the Scottish village of Ardnadam in Argyll and Bute.[1] It stands, at the apex of sharp bend in the A815, around the midpoint of the southern shores of the Holy Loch.
It was designed by Boston, Menzies & Morton, of Greenock, and unveiled on 14 May 1922. It commemorates the local soldiers who died during service in World War I and World War II.[2]
Mrs John Brown, of nearby Sandbank, performed the unveiling. Five of her sons served in the conflicts, one of whom was killed in action.[2] Reverend A. MacDonald M.A., also of Sandbank, officiated at the ceremony.[2]
