William MacFarlane was born in Dingwall, Ross-shire, lived in London when his parents moved there, and served and died in a Scottish regiment. Not forgotten by the united land for which he fell, the inscription his parents chose continues:
Keep her proud banners without blot or stain
Lest we may dream that we have died in vain.
