| | THOMAS BEACH & PETER GRANT VC |
 | | A ceremony took place on Saturday, 17th May 2003, at Dundee's Eastern Necropolis, to place two suitably inscribed benches commemorating Private Thomas Beach VC and Private Peter Grant VC, both of whom were buried in Poor Ground, their exact burial location being unknown owing to the many areas of mass graves within the cemetery. |
 | | Saturday's ceremony was conducted by Pastor David Taylor, chaplain to the City of Dunee branch of the RBL Scotland who said "the memorial was a fitting tribute to their bravery". |
 | | Beach's Victoria Cross was purchased on behalf of the Maharaja of Patiala, Bhupendra Singh, in the 1920s and is one of the five VCs included in the Sheesh Mahal Collection, housed in Patiala, Punjab, India. |
