The memorial was unveiled on the afternoon of Sunday 2 May 1920.
The ceremony was reported by the Northern Scot, 7 May 1920 and pointed to the sacrifice made by such a small community of 30 houses in losing the ten men who were listed on the monument. The monument was gifted to the community by Mr. T.N. Christie, proprietor of the estate. The chosen site is known locally as the 'Chapel Hillock' and was believed to be an ancient burial ground. In his speech Mr. Christie noted that 'The records show that four MacKays from Bunach, three Denoons from Easter Kellas, three Roys from Bodnamuir, two Allans from Bodnamuir, two Grants from Bauds, two Morgans from Kellas, and two Milnes from Bodnastalker served.' The memorial was then unveiled by Mrs. Christie. The paper reported that Mr. Christie also presented a 'beautifully illuminated school roll of honour. It is enclosed in a handsome oak frame'.
